Marquinhos, the PSG captain, says they should believe that they can defeat City when the two teams meet in Manchester. 
 
"We'll have to analyze the match to see where we struggled. We've had problems in other games but managed to be stronger," Marquinhos said. 
 
"If we don't believe, then there's no point making the trip. We'll need a warrior mentality to go through.
 
"We're really close. We mustn't have any doubts now and we have to improve our weak points. We have everything we need to turn the situation around."
 
The last time City hosted PSG in a competitive match was on 12 April 2016.
 
City emerged 1-0 winners in the Champions League quarter-final second-leg match at the Etihad Stadium.
