PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN take on German giants Bayern Munich in an enthralling Champions League group showdown.

Neymar and Co. will want to make a big statement at the Parc des Princes.



Julian Draxler is expecting Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich to "deliver a spectacle" on Wednesday.
Both sides won their Group B openers ahead of a meeting at Parc des Princes, with PSG particularly impressive in a 5-0 thrashing of Celtic.
Draxler was a substitute in that game, but he has lined up alongside the all-star forward line of Neymar, Kylian Mbappe and Edinson Cavani in the league.

And he expects PSG to be at their attacking best against Bayern.

"We will deliver a great attacking spectacle with PSG," he told Bild. "I am proud that I can be part of it.

"This is the first time I have played against Bayern with a team where we are not necessarily outsiders."
