Managed by Christophe Galtier, PSG have built one of the top teams in Europe and have made some impressive signings this summer in the likes of Renato Sanches, Vitinha and Hugo Ekitike.

In a group alongside Juve, Benfica and Maccabi Haifa, the Ligue 1 giants will be expected to pass the group stage with flying colours before challenging the big guns for the trophy at the end of the season.

These days, PSG are often mentioned in the same breath of the likes of Real Madrid, Liverpool and Bayern Munich - but what is their record in the Champions League actually like and have they ever lifted the trophy?
