Athletic Bilbao will hope they can finally record a statement win in the UEFA Champions League when they welcome high-flying PSG to San Mames on Wednesday.
The Spanish side have struggled to find the net in the competition, let alone convert to enough wins, and now, they face the free-scoring Parisians.
Athletic Bilbao vs PSG Preview
Athletic have failed to find the net in three of their UCL games (W1, D1, L3), the latest being a goalless draw against Slavia Prague on matchday five.
Failure to score here will see the Lions draw blanks in three straight major European games in one season for the first time ever.
They come into this with some confidence after pipping Atlético Madrid 1-0 on Saturday, which could serve as a bedrock for a solid performance against another big side.
Meanwhile, PSG are scoring for fun, with the Parisians coming out on top in an eight-goal thriller (5-3) against Tottenham on matchday five.
The defeat (2-1) against Bayern Munich on match day four has been their only blight so far (W4, L1), and now they look to add to the 13 UCL game wins in 2025 (a record for any team in a calendar year).
PSG thrashed Rennes 5-0 in Ligue 1 on Saturday evening and thrashed Bayer Leverkusen 7-2 in their last away game in the UCL matchday three, showing that they have goals in abundance across the team.
