Marquinhos has warned Chelsea that Paris Saint-Germain are keen to avenge their "painful" Champions League elimination last season.
The French giants were minutes away from moving into the semi-final of the competition when Demba Ba struck late on to seal the Blues' progression on away goals.
Both clubs were paired in the last-16 stage this time around, and the PSG defender says that revenge is very much on the agenda.
"At this level, there are only great teams," Marquinhos told PSG TV. "We will train and work hard to prepare for the two games.
"Chelsea have already won the Champions League and is at the top of their championship. They will give everything to qualify.
"The elimination suffered last season was painful. We will build on this to avoid repeating the same mistakes."
Jose Mourinho's side travel to Parc de Princes for the first leg on February 17, before welcoming the Ligue 1 giants to Stamford Bridge for the conclusion on March 11.
