Real Madrid will host Paris Saint-Germain at Santiago Bernabéu, Madrid in the first leg of the Champions League last 16 of 2017/18 on Thursday (15/2). The head-to-head record between this two giants team is two wins each and two draws. This could be an interesting matchup, considering the latest struggle of Spanish giant and defending champion but with the likes of superstar like Cristiano Ronaldo, Sergio Ramos, Gareth Bale of Real Madrid and Neymar Jr., Edison Cavani, Kaylian Mbappe of Paris Saint-Germain another mouth-watering game in the making in the Round of 16 in UEFA Champions League.
In the group stage this season, both team lose at once were PSG finished top 1 at Group B while Real Madrid finished top 2 at Group H the runner up of Tottenham Hotspur despite this you could not count on this Madrid team because they we’re so good when it comes knockout stage as proven they we’re the first team to go back to back champions league winners of 2015-2016 and 2016-2017 season. Paris Saint-Germain on the other hand yet is another great team with their summer signing Brazilian Superstar Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior in short Neymar Jr. (LOL) with his scoring and attacking capabilities Madrid defense should be worried this guy and with the likes also of Edison Cavani and Kaylian Mbappe in the making this would make a very dangerous trio on attacking side of PSG.
Paris Saint-Germain now led the Ligue 1 standing with a 12 points net advantage over Monaco in second place they nearly took care of the business last weekend with 1-0 win over Toulouse team while Real Madrid sitting 4th on the standing of La Liga which is a very rarely place for this team knowing the ability and quality of this team. They don’t really live to the hyped this season but despite of that excellence was obtained last weekend for Zinedine Zidane team demolished the Real Sociedad with a 5-2 win, with 3 goals coming from their superstar forward Cristiano Ronaldo .
Both team has a quality squad but I think the experienced that is brought by this Real Madrid team will be a big factor in winning the Round of 16 against the PSG knowing also how good Madrid in knockout stage phase which they are really hard to beat. If there is one player who really should be wary of the Paris Saint-Germain F.C. defense, then it is Cristiano Ronaldo the 5 time Ballon d'Or winner.
