There are obvious parallels between Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City, but only one side has tasted victory from their previous encounters.
The teams are arguably the two richest in all of sport, with both built for success in the Champions League. While each has made the final once within the last two editions of the competition, both clubs are still awaiting their first European title.
Similarly, both teams have dominated their respective domestic leagues in recent years — PSG's won seven of the last nine Ligue 1 titles while City's claimed three of the last four titles in the Premier League.
Yet, despite the similarities between PSG and City, it's the Sky Blues who have dominated this fixture. The Premier League club is undefeated in five total meetings between the two sides (3W, 2D) and looks to extend its lead atop Group A with a victory in Paris on Tuesday.
The Parisians were subpar in a Matchday 1 draw with Club Brugge and need maximum points to keep City from pulling away. One man who could make the difference is Lionel Messi, who is set to make his first Champions League appearance in the French capital as a PSG player.
Messi has yet to hit top gear with his new club, but PSG boss Mauricio Pochettino isn't too concerned.
“We are talking about the best player in the world,” Pochettino said of Messi, via The Guardian. “But, saying that, you need to understand that he is a man like us that needs to adapt to a new club, the family needs to adapt to a new society and new culture. There are many things. Let people work, let the player adapt and start to feel at home. He was at Barcelona for 20 years. It is normal that he feels at home in Barcelona.
“Now everything is new. He arrived not too long ago. Over the time we are working together he is getting to know his teammates and, for sure, he’s going to succeed. I hope he wins big things for the club. That is what we are hoping for.”
