European heavyweights Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain face off tonight in the first-leg of their Champions League quarter-final clash.
Bayern saw off Lazio in the last round while PSG dumped out Barcelona to reach the final eight.
These two sides are among the favourites for glory in Europe’s elite competition this season and met in the final last term.
Bayern beat PSG 1-0 to claim Champions League glory last August and the winner of this tie will be confident of going all the way again.
Either Manchester City or Borussia Dortmund will await the winner of this clash in the semi-finals.

Bayern Munich v PSG: What has been said?
Bayern coach Hansi Flick: “It’s a new match and Paris have a new team with a new coach but on the whole not too much has changed since the final last year.
“Paris have a strong defence and obviously their quality up front is outstanding.
“We need to be able to cut off their passing. That also means putting the person with the ball under pressure as soon as possible.
“Manuel [Neuer] was outstanding in last year’s final. Will that be in the heads of the Paris attackers? I don’t know. But it is an advantage for our team to have a world-class keeper in goal.”
PSG boss Mauricio Pochettino: “In the knockout stages you can never rule a team out.
“We’re playing the champions of Europe and of the world. We respect them, but we have faith in our ability and we’ve come here to win.
“Bayern are a very well-organised team, playing with a high defensive line and with attacking players able to win a game individually.
“We will have to find the right balance, not overcommit and be careful not to lose the ball in dangerous areas.”
