The Brazilian full-back says the French champions are eyeing European glory after Tuesday night's impressive triumph at Manchester United
Dani Alves said Paris Saint-Germain have to win the Champions League once and for all this season following their first-leg victory over Manchester United in the last 16.
Presnel Kimpembe and Kylian Mbappe scored in the second half as PSG outclassed United 2-0 at Old Trafford on Tuesday.
PSG have dominated domestically in Ligue 1, but the French club's owners crave European success, having never won the Champions League.
Asked if the Champions League is PSG's main target this season, veteran full-back Alves said post-match: "No, we invest because we have money, but it is not primordial.
"Our goal is to win every competition. We work every day for it. To reach our goals, either the Cup, the Champions or the Ligue 1. But if you can win the Champions it will be welcome.
"I think we have to lose the virginity in this competition this season once and for all. We are working hard for it."
United were in the midst of an 11-game unbeaten streak since December but the Red Devils crashed to their first defeat under caretaker manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
PSG also inflicted the heaviest home European loss on United, who were left with a mountain to climb ahead of the return leg in Paris on March 6.
"I am not scared of any comeback, because if you are scared you can't reach any goal," Alves added. "I think the past is the past, and you create history, don't tell them.
"So, we have the opportunity to reach the next round, but we have to repeat what we've done today because this team [Man Utd] have a history in this competition as we haven't. So we should have a good performance to reach the objective."
Meanwhile, PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi heaped praise on the Ligue 1 champions.
"We are very happy, proud of the team, the coach and the fans. It's a magical evening," he said. "We have character, because it's not easy to play here. But in terms of morale, we were at the top. We played 90 minutes, there is a second half at home. Do not think that the match is won. We must win at home on March 6."

One thing u fans fail to understand is that times change.....Even u know fully well Madrid can't match City's quality at the moment... We'll whip the hell out of u πππππ If u are lucky it'll just be 6 goals ππππ

a single win away from home doesn't mean that they can win the UCL, there are big boys out there eyeing for that title with a lot of experience and remember that Madrid are the defending champions
A win away from home is an encouragement for any team.

Where was the unbeaten run coach in his own back yard to have been whipped like that 2 - 0? Football is like biscuit, "it breaks anywhere" in the words of a former Liberian National Coach, Josiah Johnson. And it really broke in the home park of the great Man United who were outplayed and silenced. So sad! Wake up Man United, it's not late; March 6 is the decider! JW.
Yea, victory United! JW

Expectation for ManU to win away on March 6 is high. Lingrad and his team mates must go for the kill and keep their integrity! JW.

great performance no doubt from PSG but dont get carried away. the competition just got started. u will not reach the final. the highest level u can get is the semi final which i think u still have to celebrate as if u won the final. keep ur heads high and pray for fortune to be with u all the way. madrid is still there, barca is still there, city is still there, juve is still there, liverpool is still there, bayern etc so cool up a little and enjoy ur moment knowing it will end soon
