Paris St Germain and Real Madrid will compete for supremacy in Group A of the Champions League when they clash in the French capital on Wednesday.
Both have the maximum of six points from their two games so far, with neither team having conceded a goal.
PSG boss Laurent Blanc sought to play down the significance of the match, telling a press conference: "We won against Barcelona in the group stage last year but after that we must win.
"This is a fantastic game to play but it is not a decisive match. They will come, hopefully later in the season."
Real midfielder Isco is no doubt how tough the task will be, saying on the club's website: "They are one of the most complete sides in the competition and have great players. Fast, strong players who can determine the outcome of games.
"We are going to play two extremely tough encounters against them, the results of which will be decided on the smallest of details when a mistake is made by one of the teams. That is where we will need to be strong."
Malmo and Shakhtar Donetsk, who meet in the other match in Group A, already look out of contention for the last 16, but it is all to play for in Group B as all four clubs sit on three points after two matches and are even tied on goal difference.
Manchester United will look to build on their victory over Wolfsburg last time out when they visit CSKA Moscow, with the Germans hosting PSV Eindhoven.
Benfica top Group C after two wins and take their 100 per cent record to Galatasary, while second-placed Atletico Madrid host Astana.
In Group D, pointless Borussia Monchengladbach have their work cut out when they travel to leaders Juventus and Sevilla visit Manchester City.
