That it's not is at least partly down to the fact that for all their glittering array of talent, PSG could only finish second in their group behind Manchester City. That left them facing one of the group winners in this second-round tie — and unluckily for them, that turned out to be Real Madrid.
PSG are still searching for that elusive Champions League title and many thought this could be their year — not least when a certain Lionel Messi joined their already enviable forward line. And domestically at least, things are going well; they now have a 13-point advantage at the top of the Ligue 1 table. The question is whether they have enough to overcome Madrid and make a real challenge for the biggest club trophy of them all.
It certainly won't be easy — but manager Mauricio Pochettino has at least received a boost ahead of the game, with the news that Neymar is fit to start on the bench for today's game, having been out since November with an ankle injury.
Up front, Messi lines up alongside Kylian Mbappé and Angel Di Maria in what still looks like a fearsome front three, even without Neymar. Elsewhere, Pochettino has picked Gianluigi Donnarumma over Keylor Navas in goal, but Sergio Ramos misses out on playing against his former side, due to injury.
For Madrid, things look even more positive. Carlo Ancelotti’s side topped their group despite a shocking home defeat against Sheriff Tiraspol in September and lead La Liga by four points. They also have a new star striker in the form of the 21-year-old Brazilian Vinicius Jr, and will be further boosted here by the return of Karim Benzema after a month out injured. Gareth Bale drops to the bench in his absence.
Here's how they line up:
PSG: Donnarumma, Hakimi, Marquinhos, Kimpembe, Nuno Mendes, Danilo Pereira, Paredes, Verratti, Di Maria, Messi, Mbappe.
Subs: Simons, Navas, Icardi, Neymar, Dagba, Wijnaldum, Kurzawa, Ander Herrera, Diallo, Draxler, Kehrer, Gueye.
Real Madrid: Courtois, Carvajal, Eder Militao, Alaba, Mendy, Modric, Casemiro, Kroos, Asensio, Benzema, Vinicius Junior.
Subs: Nacho, Hazard, Marcelo, Lunin, Valverde, Jovic, Lucas, Bale, Ceballos, Rodrygo, Isco, Camavinga.
