PSG then succumbed to a 1-0 defeat to German giants Bayern Munich in what was PSG's first-ever appearance in the Champions League final.
 
The Parisians are now looking to make it two finals in a row and also clinch their first-ever Champions League title.
 
Kylian Mbappe will carry the Parisians' hopes of reaching the final with the France international having netted eight goals in this season's tournament.

Mauricio Pochettino, the PSG manager, lauded City manager Pep Guardiola ahead of their Champions League semi-final tie.
 
“I like playing against Pep because for me he is the best in the world," Pochettino said. 
 
"And playing against him makes you improve as a coach. City is a very good team and is tailor-made by Pep. I think he is showing what he has already shown at Barcelona and Bayern.”
 
The last time PSG hosted City in a competitive match was on 6 April 2016.
 
The two teams played to a 2-2 draw in the Champions League quarter-final first-leg match at the Parc des Princes.
