An attacking line-up from Luis Enrique, a fluid midfield with Marco Asensio and Lee Kang-in starting.

It looks like Marquinhos will play at right back. He becomes PSG's all-time leading appearance holder tonight, overtaking Jean-Marc Pilorget.
Starting XI: Donnarumma; Marquinhos, Hernandez, Beraldo, Mendes; Vitinha, Lee; Asensio, Dembele, Mbappe,

This is the sixth time PSG and Barcelona have been drawn against each other in a Champions League knockout tie.
Only two ties have been played more in the history of the competition:
Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich – 9 times
