Watch PSG vs Barcelona live in the Champions League 2026/27 as Luis Enrique tries to delay Hansi Flick's 100th win as Blaugrana boss as first hosts second on Matchday 3. The only Barça boss to have racked up a century in fewer games than Flick's 129 if the Catalans win tonight? Yep, Luis Enrique.

Since picking up just one point from their opening three Ligue 1 games, PSG have won six in a row in all competitions. The two-time defending champions overwhelmed Man City a week ago on Matchday 2, with Desire Doue and Ousmane Dembele in irresistible form. Yet Enrique needed those big guns to come off the bench to see off Strasbourg 3-1 at the weekend, his side having trailed with 13 minutes to go. Of bigger concern is the absence of left-back extraordinaire Nuno Mendes, who has a muscle injury, and won't be available to tame Lamine Yamal.

Yamal was again electric in the Barça's 5-2 weekend victory against Real Betis as los Cules made it 11 wins in a row in 2026/27 and became the first team since Real Madrid in 1968 to win their first nine games of a La Liga season. The 19-year-old bagged a sublime opener and a further assist and will fancy his chances against probably Mendes replacement Lucas Digne, whose blood he twisted in the World Cup 2026 semi-final. Raphinha, who has 14 goals already this term, returned from injury at the weekend and may replace Brazilian compatriot Gabriel Jesus up front.
