PARIS, FRANCE - SEPTEMBER 30: Clement Chantome of PSG and Xavi Hernandez of Barcelona in action during the UEFA Champions League Group F match between Paris Saint-Germain FC and FC Barcelona at the Parc des Princes stadium on September 30, 2014 in Amsterdam, Netherlands

FC Barcelona and Paris Saint Germain will collide in a decider that will determine who finishes as group winners when the two giants meet in match-day 6 of the Uefa Champions League tonight.
The kick-off at Nou Camp Stadium is scheduled for 21:45 CAT or GMT+2.
A team that goes into this encounter under pressure is FC Barcelona who need an outright win to top the group while Paris Saint Germain can cement a top spot in Group F with a draw.
The Spanish side Barca are second on the log with 12 points and trail leaders PSG by just a single point.
FC Barcelona won’t just target a win to finish top and have a favourable seeding in the last-16 draw, but to get a revenge over PSG, who beat the Catalans 3-2 in the reverse fixture in Parc des Princes in Paris, France late in September.
The player who will making headlines going to this match is former FC Barcelona player Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who played for FC Barcelona between 2009 and 2011. The Swedish striker will be the main threat according to FC Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen.
“We know how good Ibrahimovic is,’’ said the German goalkeeper Ter Stegen, who has played in all five previous Uefa Champions League matches ahead of first choice goalkeeper Claduio Bravo. “He is one of the best. We’ll have to be careful with him - and with the rest of their team! Like us, they are dangerous as a team.
The 22-year old shot-stopper added: “if we play the way we know we can, we’ll win … We want to finish top of the group.
In the team news, Brazilian right-back Dani Alves is suspended for this tie, while Rafinha and Thomas Vermaelen are also out with virus and injury respectively.
