On Wednesday, PSG and Bayern Munich face off on as Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and company have their backs against the wall, looking to overcome a 1-0 deficit ...

Match prediction: Already having the lead coming into the second leg, Benfica will be able to take things at their pace passing their way to another 2-0 victory to echo the opening leg. Man of the Match pick: Rafael Leao - There are a lot of rumors about his potential Premier League move in the future and this is a great opportunity for him to shine on such a big stage. Only facing four shots on target during the opening leg in Belgium, he'll have more to do during an away trip in Libson. Dortmund tend to share the goals around, their scorer could be anyone but with four in his last five Bundesliga games Julian Brandt seems a tempting choice. This is going to be a big chance for him and Spurs will rely a lot on their club's top scorer against the Italian side. Antonio Conte's side need to score if they want to have chances to go to the next round but will also likely expose themselves defensively. Reus' own fitness is often fleeting but when he is available he tends to be worth the wait and has provided two goals and three assists. Antonio Conte's side are coming from a heavy defeat away against Wolves and need to react in the Champions League's second leg this Wednesday. Most likely to score a goal: Mbappe -- The opening leg only really came to life when Mbappe came on and his introduction transformed PSG. Fikayo Tomori – Tottenham will definitely need to score soon during the match if they want to have chances to make it to the quarter finals of this season. The only concern over Mendes might be his ability to go the full 90 and potentially beyond given his recent knock against Lille. The first leg was all about Mbappe and he only came on as a second half substitute before ripping into Bayern with the help of Nuno Mendes.

Key players, rankings, ones to watch: all you need to know about the UEFA Champions League quarter-finalists.

Potter has built on the foundations of Thomas Tuchel's Chelsea at their best, typically playing with a robust back three and the double No6 pairing in front. The Portuguese playmaker was signed on loan from Atlético de Madrid in January and is a proven player at this level. He weighs in with goals and also contributes defensively, working hard in the press. Having made his name at Salzburg, the former midfielder coached Leverkusen in his native Germany and more recently was in charge of PSV Eindhoven, his side winning the 2021/22 Dutch Cup. However, if Benfica hit their ceiling in the quarter-finals last time, this season they have a more balanced squad and even without world champion Enzo Fernández (who joined Chelsea in the winter) they look sharp, patient and clinical. Reaching the last eight in successive seasons is a significant achievement for a team from outside Europe's to five leagues.

The 2022/23 UEFA Champions League Round of 16 is sending teams packing with only eight clubs that will be left standing at the conclusioun of.

Right back Achraf Hakimi is in PSG’s squad for the game after he was given preliminary charges in a rape investigation last week.

[after losing 1-0 to Julian Nagelsmann's charges in the first leg last month.](https://www.sportingnews.com/us/soccer/news/psg-vs-bayern-munich-live-score-highlights-champions-league/zj7msoivksvmrnw1c2lvzjme) Bayern Munich and PSG will battle it out for a place in the Champions League quarterfinals on March 8 as Christophe Galtier's side head to Bavaria in their Round of 16 second leg.

Bayern Munich hosts Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday with the stage set for star turns from the club's 2022-23 additions Sadio Mane and Matthijs de Ligt.

Mane made the move from Liverpool to Munich in the summer of 2022, having appeared in three of the past five Champions League finals, winning one and scoring in another. "They're a difficult team to beat and is one of the best teams in Europe." Behind Mane in the center of defense is de Ligt, the man tasked with shutting down PSG's dynamic attacking duo of Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe. "It's normal that he needs a bit more rhythm" Nagelsmann said on Saturday after Mane's 30-minute cameo from the bench. Nagelsmann said as much after his team's tighter-than-hoped win at Stuttgart on Saturday, saying he hoped it was not the "result," but "the manner and style of our game [against PSG] is how the season will be seen." That elimination came against eventual champion Liverpool in 2018-19 and despite winning the league and cup double that same season, the Champions League loss ultimately resulted in the firing of then-coach Niko Kovac.
