Paris Saint-Germain defender Thiago Silva has insisted that his team will have to be at their best to overcome Manchester City in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

PSG's prize for beating Chelsea in the round of 16 was a two-legged clash with Man City, with the first leg due to take place in Paris on April 6, before the pair meet in England one week later.

Silva has said that Man City are "always a dangerous team" despite their lack of form in recent weeks.

"I think it will be a difficult game, like all Champions League matches," Silva told PSG TV. "It will be a very good game to play because they have a good team who like to play beautiful football. We like that.

"It will be perfect to play a game like that against a good team. We will continue to work to try to put this team of Manchester City in difficulties. City is always a dangerous team in counter attack."

PSG wrapped up the Ligue 1 title with eight games to spare courtesy of a 9-0 win at Troyes last weekend.
