Paris Saint-Germain welcome Barcelona to the Parc des Princes in the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League as Luis Enrique seeks to plot the downfall of his former club.
Barca's incredible 6-1 victory over PSG in 2017 gave Luis Enrique one of his most memorable nights in the Camp Nou hot seat, however that historic comeback was only necessary because the Ligue 1 giants stormed to a 4-0 triumph in the first leg.
It forms part of a balanced head-to-head record in UEFA competitions, with four wins for each side and four draws.
Barcelona are attempting to give club great Xavi a glorious farewell as he prepares to step down at the end of this season. There is also a romantic element to this season's Champions League final being at Wembley, where the Blaugrana claimed their first European title back in 1991.
They are understandably betting outsiders but if Xavi's players can extend an 11-match unbeaten run across all competitions then fans might start to dream.
Here, The Sporting News take a look at all the team news and confirmed lineups for the first leg.
