Your support makes all the difference.Tonight, two of the most moneyed teams in Europe collide in Paris when PSG host Manchester City in the first-leg of their Champions League quarter-final.
The match will see some of the best - and most expensive - players in the world share the stage.
Among them are the world's two most expensive defenders - David Luiz and Eliaquim Mangala. A record £134.3m has been spent on Zlatan Ibrahimovic to secure his moves through Juventus, Inter Milan, Barcelona, AC Milan and PSG. Meanwhile Manchester City broke their own transfer record to sign Kevin De Bruyne this season.
But if we ignore the financial figures and concentrate on the numbers relating to their performances this season - who comes out on top in 11 duals across the pitch? Is Ibrahimovic or Sergio Aguero the best choice to start up front? Should Luiz or Mangala marshal the defence? Is De Bruyne more of a talent than Lucas Moura?
