We bring to your attention the announcement of the return match of the 1/8 finals of the Champions League between PSG and Real.
We did not have time to look back, as three weeks passed and the Champions League returns to our screens again. And what a wonderful match will give us the first game day!.
PSG - Real Madrid Tuesday, March 6, 21:45, Paris, Park de Prens. Referee of the match - Felix Brykh.
The first match:.
Real - PSG 3: 1 Goals: Ronaldo, 45 (with a penalty), 83, Marcelo, 86 - Rabio, 33 After the first match in Spain, much has changed, despite the fact that it took only some three weeks. In a greater degree, these changes overtook the PSG, and they are extremely negative. Speech, of course, about the loss of Neimar. The leader and hope of the team suffered damage in the game of the championship of France against Marseille, because of what was forced to lie under the knife. This injury seriously hit the PSG's chances of reaching the next stage, and many foreign experts even began to congratulate Real Madrid with the release of the quarterfinal right after the official information and the exact timing of the recovery of Neimar.
However, PSG - this is not one Neymar, but the team, and she still has a chance to pass. Parisians need from the first minutes to run forward and correct the result of the first match, while at the same time trying not to forget about the protection. Real Madrid will certainly not be against giving the ball to the opponent and will hope for rapid counterattacks and high-speed players and this factor can be decisive in the fight. If Parisians give guests a smell of blood, then there will be no question of fighting for an exit.
During these three weeks that passed after the match at Bernabeu, PSG made three pogroms and achieved one confident victory. In the championship were beaten Strasbourg (5-2), Marcel (3-0) and Troyes (2-0), and in the Cup - the same Marseille with the same score - 3: 0. Real, in turn, was not so successful, but for that there are objective reasons. The victory of PSG inspired the "Blancos" and they achieved three victories in the Example in a row (Betis 5: 3, Leganes 3: 1, Alaves 4-0), but then the defeat from Hispaniola. Then the fatigue and lack of proper motivation. And on the weekend in the run-up to the game with PSG Real easily figured out with Getafe - 3: 1. Hence it can be concluded that both teams approach the decisive battle in a good mood and, more importantly, in good forms.
As for the personnel situation, besides Neimar injured in PSG, there is no. Verrati, Marquinhos and Mbappa recovered, and in question only participation in the match Pastore - he missed yesterday's training. Real, on the contrary, only good news. Before the match with PSG, the key players of the center of the field - Tony Kroos and Luka Modric. If these players are ready for 100%, then surely both will be on the field from the first minutes. Can not play only Jesus Vallejo, but his way out and so was not expected.
Remembering the first match in Spain, the language will not turn to say that Real scored on a victory in two goals. In general, the game was equal and then the experience of the "royal club". The guests did not play worse, but again they gave the slack in the match against the opponent of the top level. This problem, which prevents PSG from climbing to the top of European football and without Neimar to overcome it will be at times more difficult. In any case, we are waiting for you with a football holiday, because in this game no one will sit out on the defensive.

The words:.
Unai Emery, head coach of PSG:.
"This is the main match of the year - a unique opportunity for fans and all Parisians who love football. For us it is a chance to take a step forward. I hope that Real Madrid with its best players will show the maximum, and we will play even better. I want the fate of the match decided our own game. Neimar? The absence of one player opens the door to someone else. Tomorrow, all our players have an important role to play - those who come out in the base, and those who will be replaced. We must play with a cool head and a hot heart. But if they offered me a choice, I would say that it's more important to play with hot hearts tomorrow ".
Zinedine Zidane, head coach of Real Madrid:.
"Tomorrow one of the teams is destined to endure bitter emotions, but this is football. I want only a beautiful football match. We understand that it will be difficult for us, and I want us to cope with difficulties and show a good game. We must be prepared for the unexpected and focus on how to hold a bright match that will last 90 minutes, and maybe longer. The absence of Neimar does not affect us in any way. Instead, he will have another footballer who wants to demonstrate that he knows how to ".
