City hoping to reach first European final for 51 years - the stats

Manchester City are unbeaten in all four previous European meetings with PSG (W2 D2), winning their last home match against them in April 2016 in the second leg of that season's Champions League quarter-final.
PSG have only faced AC Milan (four times) more often without winning in the Champions League than they have against Man City (three).
Man City have won their past six Champions League matches and victory here would see them break the record for the longest winning run by an English team in European Cup history. Three other sides have won six in a row: Manchester United (1965-66), Leeds United (1969-70) and Arsenal (2005).
PSG progressed from their last Champions League knockout tie when losing the first leg, recovering a 2-1 first-leg deficit against Borussia Dortmund in last season's last 16 to progress 3-2 on aggregate. However, in their major European history, the French side have never progressed after losing the first leg of a knockout tie at home.
Should Manchester City progress, they would reach their first European final for 51 years, since winning the 1970 Cup Winners' Cup final against Gornik Zabrze. This would break the record for the longest gap between appearances in European finals, currently held by Sporting Lisbon (41 years between 1964 Cup Winners' Cup final and 2005 Uefa Cup final).
