Paris Saint-Germain will take on Juventus at the Parc Des Princes in their UEFA Champions League opener for the 2022/23 campaign tonight (Tuesday).
Both teams have dominated their respective domestic leagues in the previous decade but have been perennial underachievers on the continental stage.
Juventus made it to the final in 2015 and 2017, coming up short on both occasions.
PSG, for their part, fell to Bayern Munich in the showpiece event in 2020.
Both clubs also exited the competition in the Round of 16 last term and will be keen to go at least one better.
PSG strengthened in the summer and now led by Christophe Galtier are smashing their way through the French top flight.
Massimiliano Allegri’s men, for their part, have also revamped their squad to an extent, but have lost the aura of invincibility that surrounded them in Serie A.
The last time PSG faced Juventus was in the 1996 UEFA Super Cup, with the Bianconeri coming out 9-2 winners.
Juventus hold the historical edge in the match-up and have not lost any of their last eight clashes. In fact, PSG goes into the game on the back of a six-game losing streak to Juventus.
