Barcelona travel to Paris Saint Germain in the Champions League
Paris Saint Germain host Spanish giants Barcelona in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie.
The French league leaders are looking to try and book what would be only their second ever appearance in the last four of Europe's elite tournament.
They previously made the semi-finals in 1995, when coincidentally they disposed of Barca in the quarter-finals.
Barca come into the game with relatively poor recent away form - by their own high standards, having won just twice from their last eight matches on the road.
However, the Catalan giants have won their last six Champions League quarter-finals and their last defeat at this stage came back in 2003 against Juventus.
And the Spanish side are also boosted by the return of their coach Tito Vilanova - who will be on the bench for the first time this year after he returned from America last week following cancer treatment.
