A PSG goal won't change anything in the Barcelona mentality though and they'll keep pushing for a win until the final whistle, even if only to regain some pride.
They should be able to at least achieve that if nothing else on Wednesday.

Barcelona
- No club has ever overturned a first-leg 4-0 away defeat in a Champions League knockout tie (it has happened five times in the past).
- Barcelona’s 4-0 loss in the first leg equaled their heaviest defeat in European competition. Their previous such-defeat came in the semi-final first leg against Bayern Munich back in 2012/13 – they lost the return leg 3-0 at home.
- Barcelona have progressed past the round of 16 in each of the last nine seasons, the longest run ever in the competition. The last time they failed to reach the quarter-finals was in 2006/07 against Liverpool.
- Lionel Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez all played 90 minutes in the first-leg against PSG but none of them had a single shot on target.
- Neymar has scored five goals in five games against PSG, his highest tally in the Champions League. He’s the top goal creator in this season’s competition with seven assists.
Paris Saint Germain
- The only time PSG eliminated Barcelona in the Champions League was in 1994/95 quarter-finals (3-2 on aggregate). Since then, Barcelona have won their two knockout encounters with the Parisian club (2012/13, 2014/15).
- PSG are winless in their four Champions League away games against Barcelona (D2 L2) but they have never conceded more than three goals in those four trips.
- PSG have also gone past the round of 16 in each of their previous four campaigns but have subsequently been knocked out in the quarter-finals.
- Unai Emery’s team has progressed in their last 12 home/away knockout ties in Europe, all with Sevilla.
- Edinson Cavani has scored seven goals in as many games in the Champions League this season, his best tally in the competition.
