Killian Mbappe made the difference in the first leg. His goal at the last minute gave PSG a 1-0 victory at home. Taking advantage of that victory, they have set foot in Madrid to play a return leg match in the Champions League. The spotlight is again on MBAP. But today, like a fool, Real Madrid has made a plan to stop not only Mbappe, but the whole PSG.
Just a draw of PSG is enough to reach the quarter finals. But Real have no choice but to win. Therefore, the disciples of Carlo Ancelotti will come down from the pressure in Santiago Bernabeu. Real are not getting two important members of the team Casimiro and Farla Mendi at home due to the ban of yellow card. It is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post. Ancelotti says he will not play if he is not 100 percent fit. Mbappe is also injured. He injured his left leg the day before yesterday. Even then, PSG coach Mauricio Pachettino kept him in the squad. So Ancelotti is not getting much relief. He said, ‘Hopefully Mbappe will play. We are preparing with that in mind. ‘
The spectators at the Santiago Bernabeu will also be looking at Messi. This forward is harassing them a lot while staying at Bara. As always, they want him to be dull. Messi could not score even though he got a penalty in the last match. PSG will not want that Messi today. The team has selected one of the best forwards to be the champion in the Champions League.
Sergio Ramos is not returning to the Bernabeu like Messi. The star left Real for PSG last season. He is not playing in the return leg like in the first leg due to injury.
Before coming to Madrid, PSG lost 1-0 to Nice. Real, on the other hand, are unbeaten in 13 consecutive home matches. Carlo Ancelotti wants to give some great gifts to the supporters by learning from the mistakes of the first leg. “We did not play the match as planned,” he said. The high pressing of PSG has made us suffer a lot. Hopefully tomorrow (today) we will see the best of Real. Benzema is OK, she’s back to normal. ‘
Meanwhile, in another match of the night, Manchester City will play against Sporting CP at home. Pep Guardiola’s side kept one foot in the quarter-finals after winning 5-0 in the first leg. Yet they are not taking the opponent lightly.
