Paris Saint-Germain, led by their star attacking triumvirate of Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar, are aiming for Champions League glory this season.
The French side finished second in their 2021-22 group, one point behind Manchester City, and now face the considerably difficult task of getting past Real Madrid in the last-16.
PSG are 13 points clear at the top of Ligue 1 and are on track for domestic glory again, but it is European success that they really crave.
