Paris did reach last season's final for the first time only to lose to Bayern München; City are at this stage for only the second time, their last three campaigns having foundered in the quarter-finals. • Both clubs overcame German opposition to set up this semi-final, Paris gaining a measure of revenge by defeating Bayern while City got the better of Borussia Dortmund. • Paris or City could become the 23rd side to win the European Cup, and the first new name on the trophy since Chelsea's 2012 triumph. Previous meetings • City's only previous UEFA Champions League semi-final was secured with a win against Paris in the 2015/16 quarter-finals. The first leg at the Parc des Princes finished 2-2, Kevin De Bruyne's 38th-minute opener for City overturned by goals from Zlatan Ibrahimović (41) and Adrien Rabiot (59) before Fernandinho's equaliser 18 minutes from time. • De Bruyne got the only goal 14 minutes from time in Manchester as Manuel Pellegrini's side prevailed against a Paris side coached by Laurent Blanc. • De Bruyne, Fernandinho and Sergio Agüero played in both games for City, as did Ángel Di María for Paris. Layvin Kurzawa was an unused Paris substitute in both matches, with Marquinhos on the bench in France before playing 90 minutes in England, where Presnel Kimpembe was an unused replacement. • Paul Le Guen's Paris earned a goalless draw against a Manchester City side managed by Mark Hughes at the City of Manchester Stadium in the 2008/09 UEFA Cup group stage – City's first match against a French club. City finished first in Group A with Paris third, both sides progressing to the round of 32. Both eventually lost in the quarter-finals, City going down 4-3 on aggregate to Hamburg while Paris were beaten 3-0 over two legs by Dynamo Kyiv. Form guide Paris • This is Paris's third European Cup semi-final (W1 L1): 1994/95 AC Milan L 0-3 (0-1 h, 0-2 a) 2019/20 Leipzig W 3-0 • That 25-year gap between semi-final appearances is a UEFA Champions League record – beating Ajax's 22-year absence between 1997 and 2019. • In 2019/20 Paris became the fifth French team to reach the European Cup final, after Reims (1956, 1959), St- Étienne (1976), Marseille (1991, 1993) and Monaco (2004). Of those, only Marseille, in the inaugural UEFA Champions League final in 1993, lifted the trophy. • Paris would therefore become the third Ligue 1 club to reach multiple finals if they overcome City. • Paris also reached the semi-finals of three UEFA Cup Winners' Cups and one UEFA Cup. Their record in those ties – which all took place between 1993 and 1997 – was W2 L2 with victories in the last two, against Deportivo La Coruña in 1995/96 and Liverpool in 1996/97, meaning last season's defeat of Leipzig made it three successive victories in European semi-finals.
