Separated by one point in the Champions League's so-called 'Group of Death', Paris Saint-Germain and AC Milan meet at Parc des Princes on Wednesday evening.
Ahead of next month's reverse fixture in Italy's second city, the teams go head to head in the French capital, with PSG aiming to bounce back from a humbling loss last time out in Group F and Milan seeking their first win.
After going two down shortly before the break, all hope of fighting back was effectively ended in the 50th minute, and despite Lucas Hernandez reducing the deficit soon after, Fabian Schar's late strike consigned the French champions to a dismal 4-1 defeat.
Although plenty of post-match scorn was reserved for several stars who failed to perform at their best level, many fans questioned the tactics of coach Luis Enrique, who has taken some time to settle into his new surroundings.
Only Manchester City boast a higher average possession in this season's Champions League, and PSG's 73% share against Newcastle was their third-highest on record, but like Enrique's Spain teams of the recent past, that has not always translated into positive results.
