Lisbon: UEFA quarter-finals will kick off tomorrow, with a match between French Paris Saint-Germain and Italian club Atalanta.
PSG have already claimed all three domestic honors on offer and are now looking to triumph on the continental stage for the first time, with this Atalanta's debut at this stage.
The one-legged match will be played at the Estadio da Luz after the remainder of UEFA's showpiece competition was switched to Lisbon in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.
As incredible as it may sound on the face of it, 2019-20 could yet be deemed a disappointment for PSG despite the fact that they have those three trophies in the bag.
They were crowned French champions in March after the coronavirus pandemic ended the Ligue 1 season 11 games early, boasting a 12-point lead at the summit at the time.
PSG then had a five-month wait before beating Saint-Etienne 1-0 in the Coupe de France final on July 24, a week before overcoming Lyon on penalties in the Coupe de la Ligue final.
Thomas Tuchel's men have also played a number of friendlies to keep them ticking over and, taking those fixtures into account, have scored 17 goals since last conceding.
Scoring goals is not exactly an issue for the French giants, either, even if Kylian Mbappe is a major doubt for this clash with Atalanta due to an ankle injury.
The Italian side have played 13 times in the last five months, winning nine of those matches and losing just one.
