Where to watch live
Kick-off is at 7.45pm BST. Live coverage of the match will be available on ITV 1.
Overview
The first leg in Paris saw Barcelona register a 3-1 victory over the Ligue 1 winners. Former Liverpool striker Luis Suarez found the back of the net twice, while Brazil international Neymar scored the other goal.
An own goal from Jeremy Mathieu helped PSG score the only goal of the match. They need to turn the tide at will, heavily rely on Zlatan Ibrahimovic to help them secure a qualification to the last four of the Champions League.
Laurent Blanc will be without his key player Thiago Silva in the back four and he could be the difference in stopping Barcelona from finding the back of the net on Tuesday. Both Barcelona and PSG secured wins in the last league fixtures.
It will be very difficult for PSG to overturn the deficit, especially when Luis Enrique's side have scored three goals in the away leg. The French club needs to score at least three goals and hope that Barcelona do not find the back of the net.
What managers say
Luis Enrique: "We had a wonderful start, but we made mistakes when they brought the pressure. In the second half we had more control over the game. The win puts us where we want. For us it's a great result. It's a day to congratulate all the players who gave it their all, despite playing with little gas in the tank."
Laurent Blanc: "I think Barcelona were fitter than us. We had players who weren't at 100 per cent, and also a lot of absentees, but that should have been a motivation for us. We never controlled the ball well enough, and Barca were better than us in virtually every department."
