These two teams have met on six previous occasions in European football, and both have managed two wins.
The pair last clashed during the group stage of the 2015-16 competition; Real Madrid won 1-0 at the Bernabeu following a goalless draw in Paris.
Stay tuned for live minute-by-minute coverage of the action.
11 min Marcelo seems okay to continue, quite a quick recovery it must be said!
10 min There have been some very late challenges in the opening 10 minutes of this match, and Marcelo does not look comfortable following a tackle from Alves. The Brazilian's screams can be heard.
8 min Half-chance for the away side this time as Berchiche drives into a dangerous area inside the Real Madrid box, but the defender fires wide of the far post. Nervy work from Nacho there.
6 min Nervy moments inside the PSG box as Areola palms a Kroos corner back into the penalty box, and Marquinhos almost turns into his own net. Real Madrid have been much the better team thus far.
4 min Half-chance for Real Madrid as Ronaldo meets a long-range Isco pass inside the PSG box, but the attacker's effort was always drifting wide of the far post. The home side have started well.
3 min Neymar has just been chopped to the ground by Kroos and Casemiro. The first of many I suspect! Neymar came off the left to drift inside, but Kroos and Casemiro were not letting him pass.
2 min... it must be said that there is a wonderful atmosphere inside the stadium tonight. It has the feeling of a semi-final or a final, not a last-16 first leg. Let's hope that the match produces. Game on!
0 min KICKOFF! PSG kick things off in the Spanish capital...
