A ton has changed since Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid clashed in the main leg of the UEFA Champions League round of 16 three weeks prior.
From that point forward, the Ligue 1 giants have lost two out of the three matches they have played. Los Blancos, however, have dominated every one of the three matches, scoring eight goals and surrendering only two.
In view of their present structure, and combined with the way that they will play at home, Carlo Ancelotti's side will go into the second leg as slight top picks.
That, nonetheless, doesn't make PSG longshots. The Parisians were by a wide margin the better side in the past installation at the Parc des Princes and have everything necessary to obtain the right outcome at the Bernabeu.
A tight game to call
For all neutrals, the 1-0 scoreline from the primary leg was the ideal outcome, as it kept the tie basically open. PSG might have won barely at home however it's as yet anyone's down.
At the point when Real Madrid ventured out to France, they scarcely assaulted and permitted Pochettino's side to have all the ball. That won't be the situation at the Bernabeu. Los Blancos must choose the option to open up and pursue the game. The group that scores the principal goal on Wednesday evening will move a gigantic lift albeit the away goals rule doesn't have any significant bearing any longer.
Ancelotti lost the strategic fight in Paris yet is relied upon to right his wrongs this time. In the interim, Pochettino will plan to rehash another masterclass in what the future held a tight experience.
PSG depending on Mbappe
On paper, PSG have the best assault in world football, with Kylian Mbappe, Neymar and Lionel Messi all at the removal of the French side.
Be that as it may, Mbappe has demonstrated to be the club's fundamental wellspring of goals. The Frenchman experienced a physical issue in preparing a couple of days prior in spite of the fact that he is essential for the voyaging crew. Neymar has been generally conflicting since joining the Parisians while Messi has likewise been hot and cold in the French capital.
Mbappe, however, for the most part adapts to the situation whenever difficulties arise, as he did by scoring the champ in the primary leg against Real Madrid. Presently, PSG will rely on him being fit to assist them with moving beyond Los Blancos indeed. Pochettino said, as cited by the Standard:
"We talked, he's [Mbappe] fine. At that point, he was shouting out and he was in torment. Be that as it may, he could walk effectively two hours after the fact. I want to believe that he can prepare well after the question and answer session. I think he misses the mark on piece of effortlessness."
"Once in a while, we go on and on. We are quiet with Kylian, that is clear. He is experienced regardless of whether he is youthful. I don't question Kylian. He won't fundamentally impact his approach to playing as a result of what's going on outwardly."
PSG's possibility meeting all requirements for the quarter-finals of the Champions League to a great extent relies on Mbappe. The Frenchman being cleared as fit is a tremendous resolve sponsor for the Ligue 1 bosses.
