Champions League draw: see what PSG's head coach said ahead of Man united tie

Manchester United will face Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League round of 16, while Liverpool have been drawn against Bayern Munich.
Atletico Madrid take on Juventus, Tottenham Hotspur are up against Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid face Ajax.
Barcelona play Lyon, Manchester City meet Schalke, while AS Roma vs. Porto completes the round of 16 ties.
PSG, who finished ahead of Liverpool and Napoli to top Group C, are undefeated in Ligue 1 this season and will travel to Old Trafford before hosting United in Paris.
United are struggling in the Premier League and fell 19 points behind leaders Liverpool following their 3-1 defeat at Anfield on Sunday, although PSG manager Thomas Tuchel said it remains a challenging fixture.
"It's always difficult," Tuchel said after Monday's draw. "Manchester United has a lot of experience in this competition. It's still really hard to play at Old Trafford.
"The favourite PSG? No, I do not think so. At PSG, we lack experience in the quarter, half and final. Manchester United has a lot of experience. We are able to win, but it is a big challenge."

  Two hundred children could die each day from hunger in northeastern Nigeria as a result of the ongoing conflict in the country, a humanitarian agency has warned. Up to half of all children under the age of five are acutely malnourished, international charity Save the Children said on Monday, after screening the health of boys and girls in the region between June and October in 2016. The figure could be even worse in areas that are out of reach because of insecurity, according to the report. Children are presenting in desperate conditions and facing severe malnutrition, often in combination with other life-threatening illnesses like pneumonia, malaria and diarrhoea," said Ben Foot, Save the Children country director. "For some cases this may be the second or third time they have fought malnutrition so their immune systems are already severely weakened." Violent attacks on civilians since 2009 by the armed group Boko Haram have affected almost 15 milli

Cardi B has defended herself after a video resurfaced of her saying she drugged and robbed men who wanted to have sex with her while she worked as a stripper before finding fame. The rapper faced criticism after the three-year-old Instagram live video recirculated on social media.

The original video was made as her career was starting to take off and was her response to someone who said she didn't deserve success because she hadn't put in any work. "Nothing was handed to me. Nothing," she said in the video, before going on to reveal that she would invite men to a hotel before drugging and robbing them. In response to the furore, she wrote on Instagram that she had been talking "about things in my past right or wrong that I felt I needed to do to make a living&quo

Preparing for the release of the Sony PlayStation 5 and Microsoft Xbox Series X/S, GameStop is now preparing to launch an installment payment plan program for the next-gen consoles. Revealed in a series of internal documents, the American video game, consumer electronics and gaming merchandise retailer is looking to help offer an alternative way to own the systems. GameStop is currently looking into installment plans, direct layaway and rent-to-own plans. Installment plans would be offered through third-party companies like Quadpay and Klarna, requiring customers to split their purchase into four payments over six weeks with no interest.

While the rent-to-own plans would let customers rent the new consoles for an upfront fee, with the rest of the cost paid over a 12 month period. Customers can then fully pay off the cost to own a console or retu
