Paris Saint-Germain star Lucas Moura has insisted that Barcelona are by no means a perfect team ahead of their Champions League quarter-final tie.

The La Liga leaders are widely considered favourites to win the European trophy for the fourth time in eight seasons, having recovered from a first-leg stumble in their last-16 tie against AC Milan.

PSG, who saw off Valencia in the previous round, head into the tie as underdogs for the first time this season but Lucas believes their opponents have weaknesses which can be exploited.

He told El Mundo Deportivo: “Barcelona have a number of great players and play some of the best football in the world.

“However, each team has its shortcomings. There is no such thing as the perfect team.

“I have no doubt that [Carlo] Ancelotti will give us all the information needed to take advantage."

The 20-year-old then went on to voice his admiration for former PSG and Barcelona forward Ronaldinho, whom he hopes to emulate during his career in Europe.

“Ronaldinho is a great player who has made history and continues to do just that," he went on. “He"s an example to follow. He made his mark at PSG first, and then became the best player in the world at Barcelona.

“I can only hope to have a career like he had. I have only just started out and I always try to take notice of the careers of other great players."

Carlo Ancelott’s side take on Barcelona at the Parc des Princes on Tuesday, with the second leg scheduled to take place on April 10 at Camp Nou.
