Guess whoâs here? Yes, this is also the Ronaldinho derby, with the former Brazil trickster having had stints at both clubs. Heâs obviously more known for his time in Spain but was playing his club football in France when he won the World Cup in 2002. His one trophy at PSG? The Intertoto Cup.

Hereâs the aforementioned madness:
Preamble
Hello, hello, hello and welcome to coverage of Barcelonaâs trip to Paris. Yes, itâs another battle between the two sides who had that unforgettable tie seven years ago â you know the one: Barça got done 4-0 away from home and then, somehow, turned it around with a staggering Neymar-inspired 6-1 win at Camp Nou. Not long after that, PSG decided to splurge an obscene amount of money on the Brazilian forward.
The two sides have met since in the Champions League, with PSG winning their last-16 tie three years ago 5-2, Kylian Mbappé scoring a hat-trick in the first leg. As ever, heâs the man to watch, this his final go at winning the trophy for PSG before he sets off in the summer.
