Matuidi can sense an end to PSG's Barcelona hoodoo

The Spanish champions have proven to be their French counterparts bogey team, but the midfielder says the end is nigh to the Catalans' superiority

Blaise Matuidi says he can sense this is the year Paris Saint-Germain's "warriors and soldiers" will finally get the better of Barcelona in the Champions League.

Backed by their wealthy Qatari owners, PSG have won four consecutive Ligue 1 titles, though they face a battle with Monaco and Nice to retain their crown this term.

However, their domestic dominance is yet to be replicated on the European front, with PSG falling short in the quarter-finals in each of the past four seasons.
