Real Madrid subs: Nacho, Toni Kroos, Luka Modric, Gareth Bale, Kiko Casilla, Theo Hernandez, Isco.
REAL MADRID (4-4-2): Keylor Navas; Dani Carvajal, Raphael Varane, Sergio Ramos, Marcelo; Lucas Vazquez, Mateo Kovacic, Casemiro, Marco Asensio; Karim Benzema, Cristiano Ronaldo.
PSG subs: Kevin Trapp, Presnel Kimpembe, Thomas Meunier, Giovani Lo Celso, Lassana Diarra, Julian Draxler, Javier Pastore.
The team news has been announced and we'll start with the home side.
Madrid have played five, won four and lost one of their contests since beating PSG in February. A defeat at the hands of Espanyol has effectively ended an unlikely challenge for the LaLiga title. A brace from Ronaldo and a strike from Gareth Bale guided them past Getafe last time out. Due to their disappointing league campaign there's pressure on Zinedine Zidane to secure three European crowns on the bounce.
The French outfit have won all four of their matches since their defeat at the Bernabeu. They defeated Marseille twice in the space of three days in league and cup, while also overcoming Strasbourg and Troyes with relative ease. However, PSG will have to take their level of performance to new heights to defeat Madrid.
PSG will be without their star man Neymar this evening. He sustained a foot injury in his side's Coupe de France win over Marseille. After undergoing surgery in Brazil, Neymar will be out of action for six weeks at the least. Unai Emery's men will face a challenge to advance without the presence of the forward.
Real Madrid are in a strong position heading into the contest, holding a two-goal advantage from the first leg. Adrien Rabiot put PSG ahead, but a brace from Cristiano Ronaldo along with a late effort from Marcelo handed the initiative to the Spanish side.
Good evening and welcome to the live commentary of the Champions League round-of-16 clash between Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid at the Parc des Princes.
STAT! Real Madrid are unbeaten in their three previous Champions League encounters with Paris SG (W2 D1), conceding only one goal.
STAT! 33% of teams to have lost 3-1 away in the first leg of a Champions League knockout tie have progressed to the next round (4 out of 12), including three of the last four.
STAT! Real Madrid have not lost any of their 16 games with Mateo Kovacic in the side in the Champions League (W14 D2).
The players are out on the pitch, so we should be underway shortly.
There will be a minute of silence in memory of Davide Astori, who passed away at the weekend.
Zidane has made a few surprising decisions this evening. Kovacic, Vazquez and Asensio get the nod to start ahead of Modric, Kroos and Bale. Asensio helped changed the game in the first leg, but Zidane could be opting for a defensive stance by bringing Vazquez and Kovacic into the midfield. Marcelo and Varane return to action after resting against Getafe at the weekend.
HISTORY! PSG have eliminated Real Madrid in their two previous knockout encounters (1992/93 UEFA Cup, 1993/94 Cup Winners Cup), both times in the quarter-finals.
HALF-TIME: PSG 0-0 REAL MADRID
It's goalless at the break between PSG and Real Madrid, leaving the Spanish side 45 minutes away from securing a place in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. The home side have struggled to break down Zinedine Zidane's men, although Kylian Mbappe will regret not squaring the ball to Edinson Cavani in the middle. Madrid have had the best openings of the half, with Sergio Ramos and Karim Benzema both seeing efforts well saved by Alphonse Areola. PSG have to put it all on the line in the second half.
STAT! Paris Saint-Germain mustered just three shots against Real Madrid in the first half; the lowest total they've managed at home in the Champions League since October 2015 (also v Real).
FULL-TIME: PSG 1 (2) - 2 (5) REAL MADRID
Thanks for joining our commentary this evening. Until next time, goodbye.
Real Madrid advance to the quarter-finals of the Champions League for the eighth season in a row. They put in a disciplined performance this evening to see off Paris Saint-Germain. The Spanish side frustrated Unai Emery's men in the first half before taking control of the contest when Cristiano Ronaldo headed home. Marco Verratti's dismissal effectively ended the game for the home side, although Edinson Cavani found the net. A strike from Casemiro did end the match, securing his side's place in the last eight. Madrid's incredible record under Zinedine Zidane continues on the continent, while the defeat could signal the end of Emery's tenure at the Parc des Princes.
