It was against Atalanta where they really struggled, as they had to rely on two late goals to reach the semi-finals.

They must take on arguably the best team in world football at the moment, however, in Bayern Munich.

Bayern also have Serge Gnabry, Thiago Alcantara and Canadian sensation Alphonso Davies among their ranks.
European football Raphael Honigstein, however, believes Bayern need to win for people to regard them as Europe's best.
"We might just see the team dropping a little bit deeper and maybe not pushing all the time," he said.
"I've seen Bayern teams lose Champions League finals in pretty dramatic and traumatic circumstances in my lifetime.
"Despite all the nice things we're talking about, if they lose to PSG - which is entirely possible - all of these things will be for nothing."
