PSG's last-16 tie against Lille should have taken place on 6 or 7 April but the match will be played on 17 March at 2pm at the Parc des Princes.

Kylian Mbappé scored for PSG on Wednesday night in the 1-1 second leg draw with Barcelona which allowed Mauricio Pochettino's men to advance 5-2 on aggregate to the last eight for the second consecutive year.

It was the first time Barcelona had failed to reach the Champions League quarter-finals since 2007.

"We are out, and that is what counts in our sport," Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman told Movistar Plus. "But we can feel good about it because we had chances to make life difficult for our opponents,"

Barcelona trail Atletico Madrid by six points with 12 games remaining in La Liga and they are also into the final of the Copa del Rey.

PSG are two points behind Lille in France's Ligue 1 with 10 matches to play.
