Xavi Hernandez, Barcelona’s new coach, is preparing to deliver a strong surprise against Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.
Barcelona is preparing for a heavy-caliber confrontation against Paris Saint-Germain in the Parc des Princes next Wednesday in the first leg of the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
According to what the Spanish newspaper “Marca” reported, Brazilian player Vitor Roque, who has not previously participated in any match in the Champions League, may be a potential option in the left wing position during the match against Paris next Wednesday.
Xavi appears to prefer to rely on Lamine Yamal and Robert Lewandowski up front, while he still has several options on the left wing, including Roque, as well as Ferran Torres, Joao Felix, Rafinha and Pedri.
The report indicates that Xavi has given Roque varying opportunities to participate in recent weeks, and has demonstrated his ability to defend and move without the ball, making him a good option to face Paris Saint-Germain.
It is known that Roque has played 12 matches with Barcelona so far, during which he scored two goals, and if he participates against Paris, he will be one of the youngest Brazilians to play in the Champions League for the first time.
