THE PREDICTION
Two European heavyweights meet in what is surely the tie of the round as 13-time champions Real Madrid take on a star-studded PSG side who are still searching for that elusive European crown. The hosts will be desperate to prevent their opponents from finding the net here to ensure that Real don’t carry away goals to the return leg at the Bernabeu, but Los Blancos are built for occasions like this and will back themselves to cause Maurizio Pochettino’s side problems. PSG might be running away with things domestically but they are still searching for a style of play that leads to them dominating matches. However, with the likes of Kylian Mbappe and Real Madrid-tormentor Lionel Messi in their ranks, they will always cause problems. A fascinating first leg will ensue here, and don’t be surprised to see honours even come the final whistle.
