Manchester City will face French champions Paris Saint-Germain in the quarter-finals of the Champions League in a match being billed as a clash of "Europe's nouveau riche" by the BBC.

Both English clubs "have been handed formidable obstacles in their quest for European success", says The Times. Dortmund, it adds, "are arguably the toughest possible opponents left in the Europa League", while PSG won the French title last weekend with two months two spare, beating Troyes 9-0.
