Atletico has to overcome a one-goal deficit to eliminate bitter rival Real in the second leg of the Champions League last 16 tie on Wednesday to maintain a chance of capturing the European trophy it has never won.

Will this finally be the year for Paris Saint-Germain?

The year when more than a decade of spending lavishly on players can at last bring the Qatari-backed French club its first Champions League title?

Despite playing some of the best football, Paris Saint-Germain is once again on the brink of an early exit from Europe's elite club competition.
