#3 Thomas Muller vs Marquinhos
Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain have experienced campaigners at their disposal and both Thomas Muller and Marquinhos will play crucial roles in this fixture. The two European stars have contrasting styles of play but their importance to their respective sides cannot be understated.
Thomas Muller has been an integral part of Hansi Flick's side over the past two years and has been the glue that has held the Bavarian attack together. The German forward is one of the most intelligent players in the modern game and will be intent on tormenting Marquinhos and his teammates with his movement and poise.
Marquinhos was pivotal to Paris Saint-Germain's success against Barcelona and Lionel Messi in the round-of-16 and will have to perform a similar role against Thomas Muller. The Bayern Munich veteran has unique abilities at his disposal and can be more than just a handful at his best.
#2 Kylian Mbappe vs Benjamin Pavard
With Neymar struggling with his fitness this season, Kylian Mbappe has become Paris Saint-Germain's talisman on both the domestic and the European front. The French youngster has taken the UEFA Champions League by storm and is his side's most lethal threat.
Mbappe singlehandedly dismantled Barcelona at the Camp Nou last month and is virtually unstoppable at his best. The French World Cup winner has already scored 30 goals in all competitions for Paris Saint-Germain this season and will be intent on adding to his impressive tally this week.
Benjamin Pavard will have his work cut out for him against his compatriot and cannot afford to put a foot wrong on Wednesday. The Bayern Munich full-back is known for his defensive acumen and his man-marking skills will be put through a litmus test against Kylian Mbappe.
#1 Neymar vs Joshua Kimmich
Neymar has not enjoyed a particularly fruitful season by his own lofty standards and has a point to prove against Bayern Munich. The Brazilian star has become Paris Saint-Germain's primary creative influence over the past year and is set to occupy a central role in the UEFA Champions League this week.
The former Barcelona winger has managed six goals in only five European appearances this season and is one of the most lethal players in the world at his best. Neymar was one of Paris Saint-Germain's best players in the Champions League final last year and will look to get one over Bayern Munich's midfield on Wednesday.
Joshua Kimmich has grown into one of the most versatile players in world football over the past few years and is perfectly equipped to thwart Neymar's creative instincts. The German midfielder is one of Bayern Munich's most consistent players and will need to be at his best against Paris Saint-Germain this week.
