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 Spanish champions have been heavily linked with Mbappe and an early exit from the Champions League would be a huge blow for Carlo Ancelotti, but home advantage could be key as they look to overturn PSG’s first-leg lead.
The Ligue 1 side were dominant at the Parc des Princes, eventually getting their reward as Kylian Mbappe scored the only goal of the first leg in the 94th minute.
Real were incredibly passive in Paris, and will have to be far more aggressive at the Bernabeu or they will be making a premature European exit.
PSG have lost two of the three matches they have played since that first leg, both away from home, but it is the Champions League that continues to be the club’s primary target.
