PSG ended the season with a penalty shootout win over Arsenal in the final of the UEFA Champions League in May.
The European champions also won two of their last three matches in the league, keeping two clean sheets and conceding only two goals.
Player to watch
Ibrahim Mbaye (PSG)
Senegalese youngster Ibrahim Mbaye has been heavily linked with an exit from PSG this summer but this clash gives him a chance of staking a more regular role under Enrique next season.
His pace and ability to shoot from ling range would be a source of threat for the French champions in this encounter.
