Leicester City is one of the teams who was beat badly bad PSG, so they are out of the running for a victory in this tournament. City will be playing this game against Barcelona for pride, practice, bragging rights and for a better finish in the tournament. Leicester also has some new players who could use some pitch time so watch for new looks from the team. Jaime Vardy is recovering from a wrist injury so if he does make the trip with his team Leicester, he is not expected to get much playing time if any.
Barcelona however is sitting in the middle of the action and has a chance to knock PSG from the top. Messi will have to put at least a few balls in the net for his team to have a chance at bringing down the french in this tournament. A Barcelona win is unlikely but possible.
