UCL R16 : Real Madrid Vs Paris Saint-Germain

Harakiri like Hakimi it is then.

Will be fun to watch !



Expecting Madrid to be in form today. Neymar Cavani already in form

My main concern is Madrid's defence. They must keep a clean sheet. Even goalless draw wouldn't be such a bad result to take to Parc des Princes and try to win on away goals there.

Two thirds of people here are picking PSG, I did as well.  Before the UCL started I said that PSG would win it this year, I dont believe that as much now as I did then.

For some reason I think these games will be low scoring tight affairs, hope I am wrong.  The German odds seem to slightly favour PSG, a draw today would be a good bet with higher odds.

For what is is worth, here are their head to head history

You would like to see Real Madrid lose more.

rincon wrote:You are right, I actually do. Thinking about it I actually don't particularly want PSG to lose, I just don't respect them after the second leg in Camp Nou last season.

Not even their own players respect them

If I could put aside my Jjuve hate, you could put aside your Madrid disdain. And I'm sure we've been hating one another's clubs since the 90s too.

That being said, my body is ready for the L I'm about to receive.

yeah, but the guy-or at least one of them- responsible for that, is now on their team.

I am going to say 1-1

Our starting eleven:


Bale on the bench and freaking Benzema starting. Marvelous!

Real Madrid: Keylor Navas; Nacho, Ramos, Varane, Marcelo; Casemiro, Kroos, Modric, Isco; Benzema, Ronaldo

Subs: Casilla, Bale, Theo, Vazquez, Achraf, Asensio, Kovacic

Paris Saint-Germain: Areola; Alves, Marquinhos, Kimpembe, Yuri; Lo Celso, Rabiot, Verratti; Mbappe, Neymar, Cavani

Subs: Trapp, Di Maria, Thiago Silva, Diarra, Meunier, Pastore, Draxler
Zidane preventing Bale running at Alves and Berchiche.


Lo Celso, Rabiot, & Verratti midfield

Really thought Emery would have played Di Maria in that central midfield role.

Emery

So you have two soft CBs, Alves, an attacking CM playing hold mid... and 3 strikers who don't like to defend.

If Madrid don't score at least 2, they should be ashamed of themselves.

Honestly not a bad line up apart from Benzema. You need Modrić, Kroos and Isco to keep possession.

As much as I hate the guy, I hope tonight will be Gaynaldo's night. Cause I hate Gaymar more

Rabiot goal

Nacho for some strange reason ducked as Rabiot shot

Terrible defending by everyone involved.

LEGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEND

Lo Celso lol

out of his depth

Why isn't Ramos playing RB and Nacho CB?
