Despite ongoing violent protests and unrest in France, Paris Saint-Germain will host Barcelona in a Champions League match as scheduled on Tuesday at the Parc des Princes. The French Interior minister confirmed that security measures would ensure the game's safety, though more than 2,000 people have been arrested during recent protests across the country. Both teams are currently tied for first place with six points and identical goal differences; however, PSG leads in goals scored.
