Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool  are a pair of true titans in modern football, with both teams able to boast numerous titles won by some of the most recognizable players in the sport.

Each have won a Champions League title in recent years, with Liverpool claiming their sixth European Cup in 2019 while PSG are the reigning title holders after winning their first last season.
