​PSG host Real Madrid in the second leg of their last-16 Champions League tie, with the hosts hoping to overturn a 3-1 defeat from their first leg at the Bernabeu.

Madrid, buoyed by the presence of the 2017/18 Champions League top-scorer, Cristiano Ronaldo (11), will be looking to progress to the quarter finals and mount a charge for their third UCL title in four years.

PSG have been shaken by the news that the world’s most expensive player, Neymar, has fractured a metatarsal in his right foot, and is expected to be out for the remainder of the season. Angel Di Maria is expected to deputise in his place for the clash against Madrid on Tuesday night.

PSG are also reportedly confident that centre-back Marquinhos, midfielder Marco Verratti and forwards Kylian Mbappe and Edison Cavani will be ready after minor fitness concerns ahead of the clash.

Match preview

It’s a big game for…

Cristiano Ronaldo: The top scorer in 2017/18’s Champions League will have a vital role to play in the game against PSG on Tuesday. With 11 goals in the competition so far, this game is a real chance for Ronaldo to add to his goal tally and to cement Madrid’s place in the quarter finals of the competition.

Best stat...

Zinedine Zidane's side are looking to become the first team since Bayern Munich (1974-1976) to win Europe's top competition for three years on the trot.

Remember when...

Real Madrid gave a convincing performance in the first-leg, with a resounding 3-1 victory? Re-live the goals below.

Player to watch…

Angel Di Maria. Facing his previous employers, Di Maria certainly has a point to prove when Madrid visit on Tuesday night. Replacing Neymar in the starting line-up, all eyes will be on Di Maria, and he certainly holds the ability to rise to the task on the biggest stage in Europe.

PSG boss Unai Emery is under massive pressure to produce a result tonight and he had this to say about his side's chances in yesterday's pre-match press conference:

"You play a game with your head and your heart. Tomorrow the heart will be the most important thing.

"And we will be playing with 12 players tomorrow because we will have the backing of the crowd.

"Our team, even without Neymar, is able to beat the best Real Madrid team."

Here's a little reminder of how things stand going into tonight's two matches.

Real Madrid lead PSG 3-1 on aggregate after last month's first leg while Liverpool lead Porto 5-0.

Our primary focus in this blog will be PSG vs Madrid but we'll also be chucking in all of the important updates from Anfield as Porto look to produce the biggest shock ever in the history of the world. Like, ever.

The players are in the tunnel at the Parc des Princes and kick-off is just five minutes away! Don't go anywhere.

1' - We are underway in Paris!

5' - The opening stages here have been fairly uneventful but both teams are zipping the ball around superbly.

PSG are perhaps just edging it at the moment but there really is very little in it.

8' - Cristiano Ronaldo has looked lively in these opening stages for Madrid.

He's just had the first shot of the match from distance but it was well blocked by a PSG defender.

12' - Huge chance for Madrid!

Marco Asensio finds Cristiano Ronaldo with an outstanding long pass and all of a sudden Madrid have a two-on-two situation on the edge of the PSG penalty area.

Ronaldo holds the ball up before finding Karim Benzema, whose left-footed shot deflects behind for a corner.

That's the best move of the match so far.
