More particularly, that fixture also represents a ‘re-union’ between Neymar and former teammate Lionel Messi.
Ronald Koeman’s side finishing second in their group meant they were always at risk of facing one of the big-guns.
And the reward for that will be last season’s finalists as their next opponents and the talk of that game will be dominated by the Neymar vs Messi spotlight.
In-fact, Neymar was quick to send a message to Lionel Messi after it was official Barcelona and PSG would meet next in the Champions League.
“We will see each other soon, friend,” the Brazilian superstar wrote on his Instagram account.
The pair have remained good friends even after Neymar left Barcelona and there have been thoughts they could yet play together again. Any of those rumors were fueled when Neymar recently mentioned that he would love to play alongside Messi again. With Messi out of contract at Barcelona next summer, it sparked rumors that the Argentine could be headed for PSG.
However, both of them must first lock horns in club’s premier competition and sadly one of both players will go out at this stage. The first leg between Barcelona and PSG will take place at the Nou Camp on the 16th of February, 2021, while the return leg at the Parc des Princes is scheduled for the 10th of March.
