Manchester United will face Paris St Germain in the last 16 of the Champions League after the draw was held on Monday, giving fans a chance to see Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo lock horns in Europe's elite competition.
Messi, who joined PSG prior to this season, has struggled to get going in Ligue 1 but has five goals in the Champions League while Ronaldo — the competition's all-time top scorer with 140 goals — has six this season.
The last time United faced PSG in the last 16, the Premier League side fought back from a first leg deficit to advance.
