Preview: Paris Saint-Germain vs. Barcelona

Sports Mole previews the Champions League match at the Parc des Princes between Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona.

Paris Saint-Germain will be without striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic for the visit of Barcelona on Tuesday night.

The Swede, who spent the 2009-10 season at the Catalan giants, has been ruled out with a heel injury.

Defender Thiago Silva and attacker Ezequiel Lavezzi will also be absent for coach Laurent Blanc as he looks for his side to improve on their opening draw at Ajax.

The absence of Ibrahimovic and Lavezzi will improve Barcelona's chances of maintaining their remarkable clean-sheet record this season, which has been stretched to seven matches.

Boss Luis Enrique has only seen his side display their full quality in the final third on two occasions this season, but after they hit 11 goals against Levante and Granada respectively, the Spaniard will be hopeful of a clinical showing in Paris.

Enrique could opt for experience at the Parc des Princes, which may see Munir El Haddadi being dropped in favour of Pedro.
