The UK and Europe are on alert after Islamic State (Isis) threatened to attack this week's Champions League matches.
Security has been ramped up across the continent ahead of four games taking place on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Real Madrid host Manchester City in the first leg of their quarter-final this evening before Atletico Madrid take on Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday.
Arsenal also play Bayern Munich in their first leg in north London tonight, with PSG hosting Barcelona at the Parc des Princes 24 hours later.

A graphic poster was released on Monday by the Al Azaim Foundation - the media outlet Isis uses to spread its messages.
The poster displayed the names of all four stadiums that will be hosting the first-leg ties.
There is also a picture of a person holding a rifle, with the message underneath reading: 'Kill them all'.
It has raised concerns over the safety of spectators attending this week's huge matches.
Arsenal will have over 60,000 of their own fans at the Emirates Stadium, with no Bayern supporters present due to a Uefa ban.
The Bernabeu has a capacity of over 80,000 for the visit of City, while there will be over 70,000 at the Metropolitano Stadium for Atletico vs Dortmund.
There will be just under 50,000 in attendance for PSG's game against Spanish giants Barca.
Uefa have confirmed that the games are currently set to go ahead as normal. A statement reads: "Uefa is aware of alleged terrorist threats made towards this week’s UEFA Champions League matches and is closely liaising with the authorities at the respective venues.
"All matches are planned to go ahead as scheduled with appropriate security arrangements in place."
The Metropolitan Police confirm a 'robust policing plan is in place' for Tuesday's game in London.
Deputy Assistant Commissioner Ade Adelekan said: "The UK terrorism threat level remains at ‘substantial’ meaning an attack is likely, and we work closely with colleagues from across Counter Terrorism Policing in planning for events here in London, to take into account any relevant information that could help us to keep those attending safe.
"We're aware of online and media reports in relation to calls to target matches across Europe and here in London.
"However, I want to reassure the public that we have a robust policing plan in place for tonight's match and we continue to work closely alongside the club’s security team to ensure that the match passes peacefully.
"As ever, we ask the public to remain vigilant, and if they see any that doesn’t look or feel right, then report it to police or security staff."
