Good atmosphere inside the club

PSG are massive favourites to proceed after an accomplished 2-0 win in the first leg, but with Manchester United on a run of eight successive away wins, this tie may not be over yet!

However, PSG have scored at least three times in four of their last five home games (and won by a margin of over 2.5 goals) across all competitions. In that same group of games, PSG have scored a total of 16 times, with over half (nine) of those goals arriving in the 60th minute or beyond.

This decade alone, PSG have lost a home CL match by a two-goal margin just once, doing so back in April 2015. Like Barcelona did on that occasion with a 3-1 win, United must score at least three and win by a margin of over 1.5 goals to proceed after 90 minutes.

Players to watch: Each of PSG star Kylian Mbappé’s last three CL goals have arrived in a minute number ending in ‘zero’ – he scored in the 60th minute of the first leg.

Stat attack: The Parisians’ last ten CL matches at the Parc des Princes have each produced over 2.5 match goals.

Three of PSG’s last four CL home fixtures have seen them score the second goal of the match and then concede goal three.

Already back in the collective training last Friday, Edinson Cavani was present this Monday with his partners after the rest day granted by Thomas Tuchel following the victory in Caen. For this first of the week, all the expected players were there since no Parisian was visibly injured last Saturday and the Uruguayan made the session like the others. While his coach had explained that the player might be "very short" for the second leg, Cavani is positioned as a possible member of the group, failing to hold. If the Uruguayan has returned to training, however, it is not a whole Parisian group that has trained since Neymar is obviously still in Brazil. He was also in the last hours with Nene, former offensive midfielder from Paris. Regarding the young players, Stanley Nsoki has just returned to the race individually according to RMC while Metehan Guclu was back with the pros after some physical problems.

Since September 2017, United have yielded a strong record from CL away fixtures (W4, D1, L2). Given the situation, drawing first blood will likely be crucial in keeping United’s chances alive, especially with the ‘Red Devils’ winning the last three CL away games in which they have done so.

Romelu Lukaku scored a brace for United on his last away day, scoring in each half.

Each of United’s last three CL away matches have produced exactly three total match goals, with six of the last seven goals across those games arriving in the second half.

• This is the English clubs 11th round of 16 tie (W6 L4), and their 18th participation in the UEFA Champions League knockout stages overall. Having lost their first two last-16 contests, United won all but one of the next seven before last seasons defeat by Sevilla.

• In 2017/18 United drew the first leg at Sevilla 0-0 but were beaten 2-1 in the home second leg, ending a 21-match unbeaten run in Europe at Old Trafford (W17 D4).

• The draw at Sevilla made it four away games in the round of 16 without a victory for United (D3 L1), whose overall away record at this stage of the UEFA Champions League is W2 D5 L3. They have failed to score in half of those games.

• United won their first two away matches in Group H this season, at Young Boys (3-0) and Juventus (2-1). A 2-1 loss at Valencia on matchday six was only Uniteds second reverse in their last 12 European away games (W7 D3), with just seven goals conceded during that period; the Valencia contest was the first time they had shipped more than one in any of those matches.

• United have lost just six of their last 27 European matches, home and away (W16 D5); the losses to Valencia and Paris are the first time they have suffered successive defeats since November/December 2012. They last lost three in a row earlier that year in the knockout phase of the UEFA Europa League.

• The Red Devils have won six of their seven two-legged knockout contests against French clubs. Ole Gunnar Solskjær scored in the sole defeat, against Monaco in the 1997/98 UEFA Champions League quarter-finals (0-0 away, 1-1 home).

• Most recently, United overcame St-Étienne in the round of 32 in their victorious 2016/17 UEFA Europa League campaign, winning 3-0 at home and 1-0 away.

• That made it three successive victories against French sides, home and away, for United, whose eight-match run without defeat (W6 D2) against French clubs was ended in the first leg of this tie. They are unbeaten in their last four trips to France (W2 D2), since a 1-0 loss at LOSC Lille in the 2005/06 UEFA Champions League group stage in a match played at the Stade de France. United have lost only twice in their 13 away games with Ligue 1 clubs (W4 D7).

• This is Solskjærs first tie in the UEFA Champions League proper as a coach; he oversaw eight qualifiers while in charge of Molde (W3 D4 L1). He took the Norwegian club into the UEFA Europa League group stage in 2012/13, and into the round of 32 of that competition three years later.

• United have never come back from a first-leg home defeat to win the tie in UEFA competition, losing both legs of all three previous contests – in the UEFA Champions League against Bayern München in the 2000/01 quarter-finals (0-1, 1-2) and AC Milan in the 2004/05 round of 16 (0-1, 0-1) and in the 2011/12 UEFA Europa League round of 16 against Athletic Club (2-3, 1-2).

• Solskjær won his first eight games – the best start for a manager in Uniteds history.

• The Red Devils had scored in 17 successive matches in all competitions before the 0-2 loss to Paris; they have now drawn a blank in two of the last five.

• Seventeen-year-old midfielder James Garner made his senior debut as a late substitute at Palace while forward Tahith Chong, 19, did likewise against Southampton.

• Anthony Martial has not featured since going off at half-time in the first game with Paris due to a groin strain.

• Jesse Lingard suffered a hamstring injury in the first leg with Paris; he returned as a first-half substitute in the 0-0 draw against Liverpool at Old Trafford on 24 February, but had to be replaced before the interval after suffering a recurrence of the problem.

• Juan Mata and Ander Herrera both also went off in the first half against Liverpool due to hamstring injuries, while Nemanja Matić has been out since a 2-0 FA Cup win at Chelsea on 18 February with a muscle problem.
