Real Madrid vs PSG: UCL RO16, Second Leg Preview, Details, Team News, and Dream11 Team Predictions

Real Madrid vs PSG is the next exciting second leg match in the Round of 16 of this year's Champions League. Real Madrid will welcome Paris Saint-Germain to the Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday night for the second leg of their UEFA Champions League Round of 16 fixture, well aware that a huge challenge lies ahead of them.

Real Madrid vs PSG: Match Preview:

Real Madrid put in one of their worst performances of the season in the first leg at Parc des Princes and had to be thankful to Thibaut Courtois for making sure that the tie ended in just a 1-0 defeat. Since then, though, Carlo Ancelotti's men have found some semblance of form, racking up three wins in a row in La Liga, most recently defeating Real Sociedad 4-1 over the weekend.

Los Blancos will know that they will have to take the game to their opponents if they wish to stand a chance to overturn the deficit and stand a chance of going through to the next round. Failure to do so may very well end up costing Ancelotti his job despite Real Madrid leading the La Liga title race.

Meanwhile, PSG comes into the game after tripping up twice in their last three matches. Indeed, since eking out a well-deserved win against Real Madrid, Les Parisiens have lost to Nantes and more recently to OGC Nice on either side of a victory over Saint-Etienne. Mauricio Pochettino will be under pressure to ensure that his team does not slip up at the Bernabeu and make it through to the next round. So, Real Madrid vs PSG at the Bernabeau is setting up a historic night of footballing action.

Team News:

Real Madrid:

Federico Valverde is set to be fit for Madrid having overcome the flu, which kept him out of the win over Real Sociedad. Toni Kroos (hamstring) is also fighting to be available for selection, which would also prove a key boost to the hosts who are without the suspended Casemiro. Ferland Mendy, likewise, is banned but regular backup Marcelo remains a bit of doubt having picked up a knock last time out.

PSG:

Mbappe is now expected to fit to line up for PSG despite suffering an injury in training on Monday when Idrissa Gueye stood on his foot. There were initially fears that PSG would be without the 23-year-old but an MRI revealed no fracture and Mbappe is now expected to be fit after Mauricio Pochettino stated that he was feeling "fine" on Tuesday evening. Sergio Ramos is out as the former Madrid captain battles a calf injury.

Real Madrid vs PSG: Head to Head:

In the 2019 group stage in the autumn, PSG took four points against the Spaniards. But in the play-offs, in 2018, Real Madrid won both games by a combined score of 5-2.
