Manchester City are off to Paris for the first leg of their Champions League Semi-final against PSG.
(Paris St Germain v Manchester City. Wednesday 28th April. Kick off at 8pm and the match will be broadcast on BT Sport)
Manchester City face PSG in what is one of their biggest games since Pep Guardiola took charge in 2016.
City knocked Dortmund out of the previous round, PSG have already knocked Bayern and Barcelona out of the competition. The French side have already won against one Manchester side this season. They beat Manchester United earlier in the season.
Both sides are looking to win the competition for the first time.
In his press conference, Pep Guardiola has said:
"For most of these players, it is the first time in this stage of the competition, so you have to focus on he game and the weak points that they have. That is the idea that we are travelling with. Everyone is fit, ready and happy. We are all grateful to have this opportunity. At some clubs this is normal, some have many Champions League and this is normality, but for us it is new and we are grateful for it. It is incredible, it is so nice to go to Paris."

The more you are yourself, the more chance of getting through. If you think about the opponent, it’s harder. In these stages.
💬 MAHREZ: We are in good form approaching the end of the season. Ultimately we always want to play our game, showing lots of character and that we are here to win. We’re not here to make up the numbers in the semis. We are here to win, absolutely.
