Barcelona will play Paris St Germain in their Champions League Quarter Final Second Leg on Tuesday. With this leg taking place from the Nou Camp in Spain, Barcelona will be massive favorites to progress after their 3-1 victory in France.

Today's big game has a start time of 7.45 p.m. BST (2.45 p.m. ET) and can be watched online through live stream by clicking here.

PSG will be hoping that the return of their star striker and top scorer, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, can inspire them to what would have to be an extraordinary comeback in this tie. Ibrahimovic missed the first leg through suspension, but will take to the pitch at the Nou Camp knowing his team need him to be at his best.

However, PSG's task is more complicated than simply scoring at least three goals away to arguably the best team in the world. They will also have to find a way to lock down the fierce strike force of the Catalan club.

Luis Suarez, who is on fire right now, will line up alongside Lionel Messi and Neymar, meaning PSG will need a defensive effort of epic proportions to try and keep a clean sheet and give themselves the best chance of overturning the two goal deficit.

In addition, if PSG are to pull off an historic victory they will have to do it without captain Thiago Silva, who will miss the game through injury.

Even though his team are clearly in the driving seat, Barcelona manager Luis Enrique has said, "The result of the first leg is good but it is not definitive. We need to play really well to to get through the tie. The idea is the same as before the first leg: to have the ball. That brings with it putting pressure on our rivals."

Meanwhile, PSG manager Laurent Blanc has said, "We know the task is extremely difficult. Our problem is that we have to score, but I do believe we will have plenty of chances to do so. We have nothing to lose and we hope to prove we are better than we were in the first leg.

"The result last week would have been the same with our without our injured players. I would love to have all the players available for the first and second leg, but that can't happen. We can't complain about that because Barcelona dominated the game in Paris."

The game between Barcelona and PSG will start at 7.45 p.m. BST (2.45 p.m. ET) and can be watched online through live stream here.
