Paris St. Germain vs. Real Madrid
For me one very interesting game, or maybe the most interesting game in the coming week. Messi didn't show much of his worldclass at PSG. He is not in top form. His Covid infection at the beginning of January hit him hard, so he needed many weeks to get fit again. And he is new in Paris, a different country, less sun. After 21 years at FC Barcelona, that's not easy. When will he show his potential? I hope against Real Madrid, he knows them well. Mbappe will also play against his new club, it will be very interesting.
Right now, situation is not good in Real Madrid with absence of Benzema they are facing drought in goals and having some bad results in Spanish League which is not good for them in this match they are going to face PSG which is also having some issues but with recent results and now after having some better performance from their strikers they are doing good few days back mostly peoples were feeling this match is going to be very tough for both teams but with current Real Madrid form mostly feeling PSG can win and advance into next round because they have some better quality and aggression then Real Madrid in presence of Mbappe, Messi, Neymar and Icardi these all are the most lethal players in European soccer with have some good skills and qualities for changing matches situation with their own performance and style of play.
If PSG having some good result at home then surely they can win and advance without any serious trouble.
We also need to remember that PSG is going to miss Neymar in the match against Real Madrid. And I also don't think that PSG, as a team has much of an advantage against Real Madrid.
Real Madrid seems to be not in the best form right now and PSG should obviously look to take advantage of that. But PSG He's obviously too inconsistent themselves.
We shouldn't be expecting so much from this top players, they're getting old. We know they're good because they have proven them previously on different occasions. Now their legs are getting weak so it should be understandable when they don't turn up. We have young talents that now runs the games, this are players we're supposed to be mad at if they under performed.
This match I still see Real Madrid wining with a 2 goals to 1 scoreline. In this game, Real Madrid would be the underdog but still have history on their side. Even though they not doing so great in la Liga with the draws recently, this isn't La Liga, this is the champion league, which are both different competition with different atmosphere.
I think PSG is going to face a lot of problems in that match but they should really be putting Real Madrid under a lot of pressure. In my opinion, PSG should play attacking football because Real Madrid is missing Benzema right now and they have to take advantage of that.
