The French champions are looking to reach the semi-finals of this competition for the first time in two decades but this is their fourth season running in the last eight, while City have never before been at this stage.
PSG favourites That has led many observers to give a polished PSG side, deserved winners against Chelsea in the last 16, the label of favourites to beat Manuel Pellegrini's men after they were relieved to avoid being drawn against Barcelona, regular rivals in Europe in recent seasons.
"All the little details are important in ties like these and the experience we have accumulated in the last few years could play a part," Blanc told a press conference at the Parc des Princes yesterday.

"What I see is that when the draw was made, everyone, including us, was satisfied to avoid the two ogres of European football at the moment in Bayern Munich and Barcelona.
Easy draw, not really "You could maybe include Real Madrid in that, so once we avoided these three teams I feel like the media and all the supporters thought, well it's an easy draw, but it is absolutely not.
"The players mustn't listen to anyone saying that because those people don't understand anything about football. City's project is sort of parallel to ours. They have talented players in every area, great quality and quantity of players."
