Barcelona must produce a comeback of La Remontada proportions if they are to keep their Champions League hopes alive when they travel to Paris Saint-Germain for the second leg of their last-16 tie.
Kylian Mbappe stole the show as the French champions ran riot at Camp Nou in the first leg, as Lionel Messi's early penalty failed to inspire Barcelona to victory, and they eventually lost 4-1 on their own turf to Mauricio Pochettino's men.
While their European dreams are hanging by a thread, Ronald Koeman's side at least managed to warm up for this game with a 2-0 La Liga victory over Osasuna, with Jordi Alba and teenage protege Ilaix Moriba bagging the goals on the night.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Barcelona's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the second leg.
