French football's big spenders will meet for the first time since 2011 at the Parc des Princes on Sunday, with both teams having yet to taste defeat in Ligue 1 this season.
But Blanc is simply excited by the prospect of coming up against opposite number Claudio Ranieri, whom he worked under during a one-season stint as a player with Napoli over 20 years ago.
"I was inspired by him (Ranieri) because even at that the time, he wanted to make the game (attacking)," he said.
"He already had the offensive spirit. He showed that he wanted his team produce. and it influenced me because it gave me a vision of the game that I liked."
Ranieri's team currently sit top of Ligue 1 with 13 points from five games and, while the Italian acknowledges the talent PSG boast among their ranks, he is eager to take three points.
"I have great respect for PSG, but we want to win," the Italian said. "I can not just think of Edinson Cavani, he is not the only player, Laurent Blanc has many choices."
The Monegasque club also have doubts over attacking duo Nacer Barazite and Valere Germain, meaning Radamel Falcao and leading scorer Emmanuel Riviere are Ranieri's only striking options.
