PSV and Monaco renew rivalry

PSV EINDHOVEN sail into uncharted territory as far as the Champions League is concerned when Guus Hiddink’s men play last season’s beaten finalists AS Monaco tonight.

However the teams know each other well after meeting in the group phase last season a pivotal event in Monaco's season according to their Greek midfielder Andreas Zikos.

PSV go into this first leg of their first knockout round match buoyed by a 4-1 victory over NEC Nijmegen on Saturday, which, taken with AZ Alkmaar's 1-1 draw with Roda JC Kerkrade on Sunday, saw Eindhoven stretch their lead at the top to four points.
