Real Madrid host Paris Saint-Germain in the second leg of their heavyweight Champions League last-16 tie at the Bernabeu later today.
PSG hold a 1-0 advantage from the first leg after Kylian Mbappe’s dramatic 94th-minute winner in Paris last month that followed a penalty miss by Lionel Messi.
The French side have never won the Champions League and an early knockout clash against the tournament’s most-successful club is a huge test of Mauricio Pochettino’s men.
Messi was part of a team that failed to break down Nice in a rare defeat for the Ligue 1 leaders on Saturday, while Madrid built out their advantage atop of LaLiga with a comfortable victory over Real Sociedad.
