Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City tonight meet in the first leg of a mammoth Uefa Champions League semi-final.
Both PSG and Man City have yet to win the European Cup, and their respective owners crave the trophy above all others despite their domestic dominance of France and England.
With a final against either Chelsea or Real Madrid on offer, Mauricio Pochettino and Pep Guardiola will equally feel that this could finally be their year to win the Champions League.
City saw off Borussia Dortmund 4-2 on aggregate in the quarter-finals and set themselves up for this tie with Sunday’s Carabao Cup Final win over Tottenham, while PSG beat holders Bayern Munich on away goals.
Neither will want to exit with the biggest prize in European club football within reach.
