The Parisians face Borussia Dortmund this Tuesday in the first leg of the Champions League, against the Yellow Wall, the platform of the supporters of the German club.

2. Paris presents itself in Dortmund with the best defense of the 16 teams still in the running. Thiago Silva's teammates have conceded only two goals in a single match on Real Madrid (2-2). Dortmund, on the other hand, have scored the least goals this season with eight goals in six games. But that was before the arrival of the Erling Haaland phenomenon.

With 58 appearances, the Italian would overtake Paul Le Guen and would be the player to have played the most European matches in the Paris jersey. He played one more game than Thiago Silva in the Champions League and has a total of 308 appearances with PSG. 3. Borussia's last qualification for the quarter-finals of the Champions League was three years ago. At the time, Dortmund was trained by a certain Thomas Tuchel and was eliminated by Monaco by Kylian Mbappé.

8. PSG is in the knockout stages of the Champions League for the 8th season in a row. Only Real Madrid (23), Barcelona (16) and Bayer Munich (12) are on a longer run.

3. Kylian Mbappé is the executioner of Dortmund. The Frenchman scored three goals in two games against Dortmund, more than against any other team in the competition.

5. Black series for Thomas Tuchel. The Parisian coach has come to the Borussia pitch five times in the shoes of an opponent. It was at the time when he directed Mainz (2009-2014) and he never imposed himself there (2 draws, 3 defeats).
