There is an English connection to this game in the shape of referee Martin Atkinson. Let's hope the 43-year-old Bradford official has a quieter night than he endured in Belgrade in October when he was forced to abandon a Euro 2016 qualifying match between Serbia and Albania when violence on the pitch and crowd disturbances broke out after a drone was flown over the pitch carrying a political message.

Paris St-Germain are the only side to defeat Barcelona in the Champions League this season. David Luiz, Marco Verratti and Blaise Matuidi scored as the visitors lost 3-2 win in the French capital in front of "99 Problems" rapper Jay-Z.

But it is two years since Barca failed to win a group game in front of their own fans. Make no mistake, it is going to require something extra special from PSG to finish top of Group F.

"Luis Enrique's selection roulette spinning out of control, it seems. Pedro and Mathieu at full back, no Rakitic or Xavi. Bold. Very bold."

Barcelona starting XI: Ter Stegen, Pedro, Pique, Mascherano, Mathieu, Bartra, Sergio, Iniesta, Messi, Suarez, Neymar.

Paris St-Germain starting XI: Sirigu, Van der Wiel, Silva, Luiz, Maxwell, Verratti, Motta, Matuidi, Moura, Ibrahimovic, Cavani.

No "weather bomb" in Barcelona but it was still chilly enough for one Barca player to wrap up well in training ahead of tonight's game. He comes from the land of sun, sea and samba so perhaps Neymar can be excused for covering himself from head to toe to keep out the cold. Will the Brazilian leave PSG hot and bothered?

So, both Paris St Germain and Barcelona are through to Monday's draw whatever the outcome at the Nou Camp. Time for both teams to put their feet up? No chance!

Barcelona do not want to go into next week's draw unseeded. Even if they manage to avoid Bayern Munich, they could still land an tricky two-legged date with Premier League leaders Chelsea - unless they win tonight.

Easier said than done. Paris St-Germain are unbeaten in 22 Ligue 1 and Champions League games this season.

One is a European superpower. The other is looking to establish itself as a continental force to be reckoned with. One possesses the all-time top scorer in Champions League history. The other has Sweden's all-time record goal scorer in their ranks. It's Barcelona versus Paris St-Germain, Lionel Messi against Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Both teams are through to the last-16, but Barca have work to do. Failure to defeat the Parisians in their final Group F game and the four-time champions of Europe run the risk of bumping into their old boss Pep Guardiola and Bayern Munich in the next round.
