PSG attacking duo Neymar and Angel Di Maria will miss tomorrow’s important Champions League game against Barcelona at Camp Nou due to injuries.
Jordi Alba, a former teammate of Neymar and an opponent of Di Maria on a few occasions before admitted it is a positive thing for Barcelona to have those two menacing forwards out of the game.
“I will not lie, I think from our perspective, the absence of Neymar and Di Maria is positive.” Alba said during the press conference ahead of the game.
Ronald Koeman believes Barcelona are in a good form and can beat any team and that the match would be fairly even, Alba agrees while also noting they have injuries of their own.
“It will be a competitive match that will be decided with little details. We also have two injured players that are extremely important.” he said.
Barcelona have centre-backs Gerard Pique and Ronald Araujo out to injuries as well as youngster Ansu Fati who underwent another surgery on his knee.
