Shared histories between FC Barcelona and PSG

FC Barcelona and PSG are meeting in the quarter finals of the Champions League, and the game also means a number of reunions for players who have shared the same dressing room in the past. Let's take a look at who they are.

Lewandowski and Lucas at Bayern

Robert Lewandowski and Lucas Hernández spent three years together in Bavaria. The French defender joined Bayern in 2019/20 from Atlético Madrid, when the Polish striker had already been there for half a decade.

Raphinha and Nuno Mendes, at Sporting Lisbon

Sporting was Raphinha's second club, who he joined when he was just 21. There he would play alongside Nuno Mendes, who at the time was only just starting to break through into the first team. That was in 2019/20, their only year together as Raphinha left for Stade Rennes the following year.

Cancelo, globetrotter

João Cancelo has three former team-mates in the PSG line-up. He and Carlos Soler played together for Valencia, and when on loan to Inter Milan he met Milan Skriniar and when doing likewise at Bayern he teamed up with Lucas Hernández although they never played together because the French defender was nursing a serious injury at the time.

Ferran, with Carlos Soler and Kang-in Lee at Valencia

Valencia was a place where other current Barça and PSG shared a past. Ferran Torres knows all about Carlos Soler and Kang-in Lee because they were both at the club on the Mediterranean coach when the 'Shark' was making his breakthrough into the first team.
