Solskjaer explains his team selection

“We know Anthony’s quality going forward and hope he’s going to create chances for us from the left-hand side and show us what he can do. We have to be clinical, of course, and it’s important we get to Paris with a chance to go through,” Solskjaer told BT Sport.

“They’ve done well together in a few games," he said of Victor Lindelof and Eric Bailly's partnership in defence. "Of course, against [Kylian] Mbappe, they need to be on top of their game,” said Solskjaer.

Tuchel has won the dressing room

For PSG, winning the league is something of a formality and it is results in this competition where the manager will ultimately be judged.

PSG were close to going out when it looked like they might be losing to Napoli at home, but Owen Hargreaves says Thomas Tuchel has the dressing room behind him.

"He's doing better than a good job," he said on BT Sport. "They're missing two of their most important players, but this is a good tactical guy. He's also won the dressing room. He could spring a surprise today."

Roma vs Porto

Roma head coach Eusebio Di Francesco says his side must not let Porto score what could be a vital away goal in tonight's first-leg.

"We have a great opportunity to produce a good performance and bring back some enthusiasm," said the 49-year-old.

"It's vital that we don't concede, although we can't allow that desire to compromise our identity and the way we want to play."

Porto manager Sergio Conceicao, meanwhile, returns to Stadio Olimpico having represented Lazio during his playing days.

"Obviously entering this stadium comes to memory the happy years and the many titles I have conquered in Lazio," he said. "It's always an emotion to come to Rome, but my focus is tomorrow's game.

"There is no special feeling for confronting Roma. There is a special feeling for having at the heart the symbol of FC Porto.

"Every day I feel a great pride in representing a club as big as ours."
