Paris Saint-Germain enjoyed a thumping 7-1 win over Celtic in Group B and booked their berth in the last 16 of the competition in a convincing manner. The club's world record signing Neymar was yet again instrumental for the Ligue 1 giants and mustered two goals to his name.

Unai Emery's men are determined to taste continental success this season and have been the best side in the competition so far by a country mile. PSG are the competition's meanest defence alongside Barcelona having conceded just a solitary goal in the five games.

However, their real strength has been the ability to outscore any side having already found the back of the net on 24 occasions - 8 more than Liverpool who are second on the list. PSG are also the only club along with Manchester City to enjoy a 100 percent record in the group stages this season and it is highly likely that they will qualify as winners of Group B at the end of the proceedings.

PSG will take some serious stopping if they are to miss out on Champions League glory this season and will face Bayern Munich on a high in their final game at the Allianz Arena after having already beaten the Bavarians in their previous meeting this season.
