The streak can't go on forever.
The streak can't go on forever.

In recent years, PSG have had a pretty frustrating pattern in the Champions League. Every time, the French champions would boss the group stage and qualify for the next round in style. However, they have faltered in their past three knockout ties. Whether it was through being outmatched by Real Madrid or simply shell-shocked, at the hands of Barcelona or Manchester United, Thomas Tuchel's side have failed to get over the line and into the quarter-finals.

A game against his former club, Borussia Dortmund, would likely excite Tuchel and motivate him to ensure a victory for PSG. The likes of Kylian Mbappe, Neymar and Angel Di Maria among many others are too talented to crash out of the Round of 16 every time. They would lick their lips at the prospect of this tie, which is sure to entertain the football world. Lucien Favre would also go into a game like this with confidence.

Both sides play some great attacking football and while this match-up would have been much more exciting five years ago, with the players on show and Jürgen Klopp in charge of the Bundesliga outfit, PSG vs Dortmund today could still be one of this season's most entertaining ties.
