Watch Champions League on DAZN (CAN & NZD only)
The Champions League returns this week as 36 of Europe's best teams begin their campaign in the competition's league phase of the continent's biggest prize.
The first round brings several huge ties between the elite clubs across Europe, and PSG get the defence of their back-to-back crown underway as they take on Slovan Bratislava.
The French side are aiming for a 'three-peat' of Champions League gongs, matching Real Madrid's feat from the previous decade, and continuing their dominance over Europe.
Notoriously, they've been slow starters in the league phase, but will be favourites up against Slovakia's most successful side, despite an indifferent start to their league campaign.
PSG are yet to win in Ligue 1, so could Slovan take advantage and cause an early upset?

PSG vs. Slovan Bratislava - the key men
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia - PSG
The Parisians are spoilt for choice of star players, but the Georgian remains a game-changer in PSG's attack.
Kvaratskhelia's performances in the knockout stages of last season's Champions League were a key reason in the club retaining the trophy, and he'll be vital once again.
Few can glide through defences the way this baller can.

Nino Marcelli - Slovan Bratislava
Seen as one of the best young players in Slovakia, Marcelli has a goal against AC Milan already on his CV and is ready to show what he can do once again in the Champions League.
Last season he scored eight goals and his power and pace on the left wing will be something PSG will need to be wary of.
PSG vs. Slovan Bratislava prediction
PSG have made a slow start to the league season, and there is some pressure on them to get back on track as they begin their defence of the Champions League.
Yet, despite their sticky start, it's hard to see the French side not getting the better of Slovan, especially with home advantage.
Prediction: PSG 2-0 Slovan Bratislava
