Follow live coverage as Paris Saint-Germain host Real Madrid in a mouth-watering Champions League tie tonight.

PSG face the 13-time winners in the first leg of a round of 16 match on Tuesday at the Parc des Princes with both hoping to put one foot in the quarter-finals with a good result in Paris.
