Paris Saint-Germain do not fear in-form Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland ahead of their UEFA Champions League last-16 first leg, according to captain Thiago Silva.

Haaland signed for Dortmund from Red Bull Salzburg in the January transfer window and scored his ninth goal for the club in just his sixth appearance in Friday's 4-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt:

In all competitions, the Norway international is averaging a goal every 39 minutes for BVB.

Remarkably, in the Champions League group stage, he averaged a similarly astonishing 47 minutes per goal, netting eight goals in six appearances for Salzburg in a group that also included Liverpool, Napoli and Genk.
