PSG do not fear 'incredible' Haaland - Thiago Silva

Paris Saint-Germain defender Thiago Silva has insisted that he and his team-mates are not afraid to face in-form Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland, but heaped praise on the teen sensation.

The Ligue 1 and Bundesliga sides will lock horns in the last 16 of the Champions League on Tuesday, with Dortmund playing host to the team managed by their former head coach, Thomas Tuchel, in the first leg on Tuesday.

While current Dortmund boss Lucien Favre will have to concoct a plan to deal with the threat posed by PSG forward Kylian Mbappe, the Swiss manager has a young striker of his own in Haaland to cause the French outfit problems.
