Litmus Test For Luis Enrique

It has been a strange opening gambit for the tenure of Luis Enrique at Barcelona.
Doubts were raised about the new coach's tactics after concurrent defeats in La Liga earlier in the season, but Lionel Messi and company have now hit a strong run of form, having won seven matches on the trot in all competitions, per WhoScored.com.
The Blaugrana have improved their performances at just the right time and they will be hoping to turn over Paris Saint-Germain in the their final Group F match.
A win will see Barca top proceedings with 15 points from their six games and will give Enrique a much needed shot in the arm, as the club continue through transition with a strong set of results.

But it is fair to say that the jury is still out on the new Catalan super-club's boss with many wishing to see Enrique push Lionel Messi back to his best form of a few seasons previous.
A loss to PSG will just fuel his critics who feel he is directing the club away from the traditions installed by Johan Cruyff and continued by Pep Guardiola.
Despite the recent questions, Messi is in exceptional statistical form and has hit 20 goals in his 19 La Liga and Champions League appearances, per WhoScored.com—showing he has adjusted to Enrique's methods and demands.
But despite qualification, Barca and Enrique will want the top the group—if only in terms of ego, as much as avoiding another group winner.
But as well as Messi improving, the Camp Nou club have Neymar in excellent form and an ever-improving Luis Suarez, who will both want to put their stamps on this tie.
And European football writer Paolo Bandini recently agreed with this sentiment in his recent blog, saying PSG will struggle to stop the three-pronged world-class attacking unit:
"The Argentinian [Messi] has been in especially fine form lately, but so has Neymar—ever more at home in his role on the left of attack. PSG will need to contain both men, as well as Luis Suarez, to get a result from this game. It is easier said than done.
"
PSG are undefeated in 21 of their last 23 games in European competition, per WhoScored, and will feel they can grab the point they need.
But with Barcelona beginning to look like the team of old, Wednesday could be a very special night for Enrique and his men.
Match Preview

Paris talisman Zlatan Ibrahimovic is likely to return to his former Catalan stomping ground, with the striker set to play on Wednesday after a miserable season blighted by injury, as reported by Reuters via The Guardian.
And Barca coach Enrique is respectful of the Swedish superstar, fully aware of the talents and danger he brings to the pitch, per Reuters:
"We are talking about a top player. If he is at his normal level he is very difficult to stop.
I always like to transmit to the team the idea that we defend as a unit. If we manage to work collectively and work in a block and pressure well then the ball won’t get through to Ibra. And if the ball doesn’t get through to Ibra then his effectiveness is reduced.
But as he showed against Ajax at any moment he is capable of scoring and of deciding a match.
"

Despite both teams already qualifying it is likely we will see two strong teams fielded as both managers look to top the group.
But Bleacher Report's Jonathan Johnson says French press believe Javier Pastore's chances of playing on Wednesday night are thin, but the Argentine could sign a new deal to remain at PSG for the foreseeable future:
WhoScored report that Barca will be missing Dani Alves and Rafinha for the match, who are both suspended, and that Belgium international Thomas Vermaelen is now unlikely to feature for the Camp Nou team this term after suffering further injury.

PSG travel to Barca with just one major concern—attacking midfielder Jean-Christophe Bahebeck will miss the game with injury, per WhoScored.
The French side will feel they can do a professional job in Spain and avoid defeat to win their group, and disappoint the Catalan crowd. They have greatly improved over the past few seasons and will not feel the intimidation they would have in previous seasons.
And with Ibra in attack and back from injury, Barca will be forced to concentrate on their defensive positioning as they look to stop the mercurial forward.
Ibrahimovic will always feel he has something to prove when he faces Barcelona, and a goal on Wednesday night will only further go to prove that the Camp Nou club prematurely let a very special talent go.
