Form guide Atalanta • Atalanta picked up seven points in the group stage to qualify as Group C runners-up, seven behind Manchester City and one ahead of Shakhtar Donetsk. The Italian club took only one point from their first four games and have suffered their two heaviest European defeats this season, losing 4-0 away to Dinamo Zagreb on Matchday 1 before a 5-1 loss at Manchester City in their second away game. • Atalanta got their first point on the board with a 1-1 draw at home to City in their fourth fixture. They then picked up their first UEFA Champions League win with a 2-0 defeat of Dinamo in Milan and snatched a place in the last 16 thanks to a 3-0 win at Shakhtar on Matchday 6. • Valencia were then dismantled in the round of 16, Atalanta winning 4-1 at home and 4-3 away with Josip Iličić scoring all the goals in Spain – the first time a player has scored four goals away in a UEFA Champions League knockout phase match – to take his side into a first European Cup quarter-final. • The victory against Dinamo ended Atalanta's six-match winless run in Europe (D3 L3). The successes at Shakhtar and at home and away against Valencia have made it four consecutive European victories, a new club record; their previous best was three in a row in the 2018/19 UEFA Europa League qualifying phase. • Before Matchday 1 the Italian club were unbeaten in seven matches in continental competition; they have still lost only four of their last 22 European games (W11 D7). • This is Atalanta's 44th European match, and their seventh campaign in continental competition. They reached the European Cup Winners' Cup semi-finals in 1987/88 and the UEFA Cup quarter-finals three years later. • Atalanta's record in European quarter-finals is W1 L1. They were 3-1 aggregate victors against Sporting CP in the 1987/88 European Cup Winners' Cup but lost 2-0 to Internazionale over two games in the 1990/91 UEFA Cup. • Third in Serie A in 2018/19, their highest ever finish, and Coppa Italia runners-up, this is Atalanta's third successive European campaign. They came through the UEFA Europa League group stage in 2017/18, losing to Borussia Dortmund in the round of 32 (2-3 a, 1-1 h), and were beaten 4-3 on penalties by Copenhagen in the play-offs of the same competition in 2018/19 after the tie had finished goalless; Atalanta had earlier eliminated Sarajevo (10-2 aggregate) and Hapoel Haifa (6-1). • Atalanta lost five of their first six away European matches (D1) but have since suffered only four defeats in 15 (W6 D5) and just three in the last 11 (W5 D3). • Atalanta were the only team to make their UEFA Champions League group stage debut in 2019/20 – they were the tenth Italian club to feature and the 141st overall – and were one of two round of 16 debutants along with Germany's RB Leipzig, who have also reached the quarter-finals. • The Italian club's record in UEFA knockout ties is W9 L6. • This is only Atalanta's third fixture against a French club; they took four points off Lyon in the 2017/18 UEFA Europa League group stage, winning 1-0 at home after a 1-1 away draw in which Alejandro Gómez scored the Italian side's goal. • Atalanta's record in Portugal is D1 L1, both those games coming in Lisbon against Sporting CP. They lost 3-1 in the 1963/64 European Cup Winners' Cup preliminary round second leg (3-3 aggregate, 1-3 replay) and drew 1-1 in the quarter-final second leg of the same competition in 1987/88 (3-1 aggregate). • Atalanta have yet to feature in a UEFA penalty shoot-out. Paris • This is Paris's sixth appearance in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals, where their record is W1 L4: 2015/16 Manchester City L 2-3 (2-2 h, 0-1 a) 2014/15 Barcelona L 1-5 (1-3 h, 0-2 a) 2013/14 Chelsea L 3-3 away goals (3-1 h, 0-2 a) 4 Atalanta BC - Paris Saint-Germain Wednesday 12 August 2020 - 21.00CET (20.00 local time) Match press kit Estádio do SL Benfica, Lisbon 2012/13 Barcelona L 3-3 away goals (2-2 h, 1-1 a) 1994/95 Barcelona W 3-2 (1-1 a, 2-1 h) • Paris have won only two of their ten European Cup quarter-final matches (D4 L4).
