Paris Saint-Germain head to the Camp Nou for the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie on Tuesday night knowing that they face a major battle to remain in the competition.

A persuading 3-1 triumph for Barcelona in the opposite meeting a week ago has put the hosts immovably in the driving seat, despite the fact that the Parisians have as of now demonstrated this season that they ought not be composed off at any stage.

 TEAM NEWS:

Andres Iniesta is available for Barcelona's Champions League quarter-final second leg against Paris Saint-Germain after suffering a back injury in the first leg in France. The midfielder was stretchered off in that match but he returned to training on Monday, as did defender Jeremy Mathieu. Brazilian international Dani Alves should also play after suspension.

PSG captain Thiago Silva misses out after failing to recover in time from the thigh strain he sustained in the first encounter on Wednesday, while the visitors will also be without injured midfielder Thiago Motta and the banned Serge Aurier.

However, coach Laurent Blanc will have the likes of skipper Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Marco Verratti available after both missed the first leg through suspension.

Possible lineups:

Barcelona: Ter Stegen; Alves, Piqué, Mascherano, Alba; Rakitić, Busquets, Iniesta; Suárez, Messi, Neymar.
• Out: Vermaelen (hamstring)

Paris: Sirigu; Van der Wiel, David Luiz, Marquinhos, Maxwell; Verratti, Cabaye, Matuidi; Cavani, Ibrahimović, Pastore.
• Out: Silva (hamstring), Motta (hamstring), Aurier (suspended)

Barcelona vs PSG Tips:

Barcelona is still battling Real Madrid in the domestic championship now that qualification in the semifinals of the Champions League is virtually assured. They take on Valencia over the weekend before locking horns with city rivals Espanyol and that's why they won't go for a lopsided victory over the French side. A narrow margin triumph would be more than enough to appease the fans.

PSG will have Ibrahimovic back in the starting formation as he returns from suspension and this gives them a decent chance of scoring in Barcelona. Three strikers will be sent upfront from the very beginning, hoping to take the lead early but the emphasis will be on bolstering their defenses.

Weekend results:

Barcelona 2-0 Valencia CF (Suárez 1, Messi 90+4)
OGC Nice 1-3 Paris (Bodmer 45+1; Pastore 39 63, Cavani 69pen)

Atletico Madrid team news:
Atletico coach Diego Simeone has positive injury news, with centre-forward Mario Mandzukic returning to training after an ankle problem and midfielder Raul Garcia expected to take part in Monday's session after recovering from a fractured arm. Mandzukic looks most likely to start, displacing Fernando Torres in the XI. At the back Diego Godin has sat out Atletico's last two La Liga games with a hamstring issue, but the key centre-half seems sure to start on Tuesday.

Real Madrid team news:
For the first time in months, boss Carlo Ancelotti has a full squad to choose from. Welsh winger Gareth Bale is back training with the squad after missing Saturday's 3-0 La Liga win over Eibar with a minor muscle problem. Centre-back Pepe returned from his hamstring injury by coming through 30 minutes against Eibar unscathed. Midfielder Sami Khedira and left-back Fabio Coentrao are also fit again but seem unlikely to feature at the Vicente Calderon -- where both started in Madrid's 4-0 defeat on their last visit in February.

Possible lineups:

Atlético: Oblak; Juanfran, Miranda, Godín, Gámez; Arda Turan, Tiago, Suárez, Koke; Griezmann, Mandžukić.

Madrid: Casillas; Carvajal, Pepe, Ramos, Marcelo; Kroos, Modrić, James; Bale, Benzema, Ronaldo.
