00:00They've met six times in the last decade, six games that have given us 28 goals to enjoy.
00:10Goals from Messi, Mbappe, Neymar, Suarez, Rafinha, Dembele.
00:16You are nobody until you've scored in this one.
00:19And talking of Ousmane Dembele, 12 of the top 20 names in the Ballon d'Or voting came from one of these two clubs, including five of the top six.
00:34And while sadly Rafinha and Dembele are watching on with the rest of you tonight, it is still a stellar cast list for a show fit for a final.
00:44And nothing to say they won't be lining up side by side in Budapest next May.
00:53It would be fitting if we were in the new Camp Nou tonight, but the rebuild of Barcelona's spiritual home is still to get the safety sign off.
01:02Maybe Barcelona will be back where they belong in time for their next Champions League home game in three weeks' time.
01:08But tonight's match is here, just across the city, in the Olympic Stadium, where Carl Lewis wrote his legend in 1992.
01:17Sitting on Montjuic, the hill that overlooks the harbour.
01:22And what's been a lovely day in Barcelona.
01:25Temperatures up into the low 70s.
01:28Only one team has beaten Barcelona in a Champions League game in this stadium.
01:36And that team was Paris Saint-Germain.
01:43Some of the most famous and fated names in the European game are missing from the two line-ups.
01:50But let's talk about who is here.
01:52Bojt Kschny is Barcelona's third choice keeper.
01:55He retired last year.
01:56Eric Garcia is preferred to Ronald Araujo in defence.
02:00The other big decision for Hansi Flick was at the other end of the field,
02:05where Laminia Malt is fit to start,
02:08and where Ferran Torres is preferred to Robert Lewandowski.
02:12Alejandro Balde has missed the last four weeks,
02:15but he is back on the bench alongside the young US keeper at the top of that list,
02:22number 31, Diego Cochin.
02:23Michael Oliver from the north-east of England is the on-field referee.
02:28And just for the record, the absentee this tonight,
02:33Juan Garcia, Rafinha, Gavi and Firmin Lopez of Barca,
02:39Marquinhos, Gavaric Scalia, Dembele and Douay of PSG.
02:44The frantic football calendar continues to take its toll on some of the very best,
02:52the whole of the PSG front three.
02:55Nevertheless, only two changes to the Paris team that thrashed Atalanta on opening night.
