Paris St-Germain manager Luis Enrique believes his side are in a great position to overcome their first-leg deficit against Barcelona and reach the Champions League semi-finals.
PSG, who lost 3-2 to Barcelona in Paris last Wednesday, were last in the semi-finals three years ago.
“PSG have never come back to win after losing a first leg, but [Tuesday] is the day,” said Luis Enrique.
“We have a very united group of players, in which there are no egos.”
Enrique won the Treble in 2014-15, one of his three seasons as Barcelona manager.
He was also in charge when the Spanish champions beat PSG 6-1 to overturn a 4-0 first-leg defeat in the last 16 in 2017.
Five-time winners Barcelona are aiming to reach the Champions League semi-finals for the first time in five years.
“We’re not a team that will sit on our lead, we want to take the ball off PSG and win the game,” said manager Xavi.
“It’s the Champions League, it’s Paris, and a game in which no one will be holding back.”
Barcelona will be without Andreas Christensen and Sergio Roberto who are both suspended.
PSG right-back Achraf Hakimi could return after being suspended from the first leg.
