The round of 16 of the Champions League continues today, Benfica and Chelsea reached the quarter-finals yesterday and today Bayern Munich will face PSG and Tottenham will host AC Milan
It's been a good week for Kylian Mbappe, who broke PSG's goalscoring record with his 201st goal for the club on Saturday
It is a great achievement for the 24-year-old forward but now today he has to carry PSG in the game against Bayern Munich when they are already 1-0 behind losing the first game at home
Mbappe has won all domestic titles with PSG except the Champions League
PSG will miss Neymar today, whose season is over after suffering injuries that will require surgery that will keep him out of the field for three months or more
It is clear that Mbappe along with Lionel Messi will need to play a bigger role. But if PSG exit the competition at this early stage, it will open a flood of speculation about Mbappe's future in Paris
Tottenham have not won a European knockout game in any UEFA competition since reaching the Champions League final in 2019
That's not the only thing Spurs face as they prepare to host AC Milan on Wednesday night.
It is a decade since Antonio Conte reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League as a manager, reaching the last 16 and the group stages in each of his last four European campaigns
They probably won't have a better chance to reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League than this year when they meet a team in the same situation as them
Behind 1-0, Conte and Spurs need to reach the quarter-finals this year to show that this team has improved from last season
