Bayern Munichface each other in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 on Tuesday. PSG has managed to beat Bayern six times in 11 Champions League matches.
Bayern defeated PSG in the Champions League final in 2020, but the French club eliminated them in the quarter-finals the following season.
Ahead of Tuesday’s game in Paris,
Ramossaid eliminating Bayern would send a positive message to the world.
"When I think about Bayern, I think about the day I scored against them [for Madrid in a 2014 semi-final],
" he told UEFA.com.
"Of course, we know they're one of the best teams we could come up against, a huge challenge.
"But getting past them would be a very positive message to send out to the world. To win the Champions League, you have to win against the best and Bayern are among those every year."
Ramos has won the Champions League four times with Real Madrid and wants to win this trophy with Paris Saint-Germain.
"Marriages are always based on a dream, and in a perfect partnership everything will go great,"
he said.
"Football doesn't always work out. The best teams don't always win.
"But what I can say is that I'm where I want to be and at a club with so much hunger to win the Champions League. I want to make the most of what remains of my playing career."
Ramos struggled with injuries in his first season in Paris and just played in nine matches, but he already has started in 27 matches this season.
Ramos said:
"At first, having taken that leap, everything went wrong. I got injured, had a hard time recovering and adapting to the new system, to the new team and new coach.
"You begin to doubt whether or not you've done the right thing, but my career has been defined by consistency, perseverance and hard work. You keep fighting and it will give things more meaning in the future.
"Leaving Real Madrid was obviously a very big change. My goal is always to continue winning. I won a lot with Real Madrid, but I thought this was a good opportunity for a change of scenery, to try to help a team like PSG."
