  • PRVW
    PSG failed to convince in the group stage, only just scraping through to the last 16. However, they are unbeaten in 27 games in all competitions going back to early November and are dreaming of winning a Champions League, Ligue 1 and French Cup treble.
  • PRVW
    PSG have never won the Champions League and had gone out in the last 16 in five of the last seven years before beating Real Sociedad to reach the last eight this time.
  • PRVW
    "But I also played against Sporting (Gijon, where he began his career) and scored goals for Barcelona. At the end of the day I am a professional. Of course I like Barcelona but I am pleased to be here at PSG and I must think about my job and my team. I think I'm capable of bringing trophies to this club," he added.

    He is now in charge of PSG, having joined the Qatar-owned club ahead of this season with the responsibility of delivering elusive European success.
  • PRVW
    PSG won 4-0 at home in the first leg only to lose 6-1 in the return in a stunning implosion against a Barcelona side coached by Luis Enrique.
  • PRVW
    It is the fifth time the sides have been drawn against each other in the knockout stage of Europe's elite club competition in the last 12 seasons, with those past meetings including an unforgettable encounter in 2017.
