Manchester City’s victory over Dynamo Kiev means Manuel Pellegrini’s men have reached the Champions League quarter-finals for the first time in their history – and results elsewhere mean they are also the only English team left in the tournament.
The draw for the next round made was on Friday morning, and City will have to face French giants Paris Saint-Germain.
Having already won the Ligue 1 title with eight games still remaining, PSG will want to crown their storming season with the biggest trophy of them all.
Laurent Blanc’s side may have seen off Chelsea in each of the last two seasons, but City fans seem pretty happy with the fixture after avoiding Barcelona and manager-to-be Pep Guardiola’s Bayern Munich.

Not everyone was so keen on their chances, though.

PSG v City, that's another English victim for PSG then and another opportunity for Zlatan to do it on the big occasion.

And PSG’s ever-entertaining social media team were quick to stir things up from the off…
