This time, the Paris SG has to let go against Real Madrid – Le Figaro Sport

After a timid first leg, PSG needed a result in Madrid on Tuesday to clarify its European future.

A match cleaver. Already. The preeminent maturities of the season is still far, but the Paris Saint-Germain will play Tuesday in Madrid (20 h 45) a part of its European future. A win or a draw with goals and champion France will clear the horizon in practically providing leadership of his group, synonymous with affordable eighth finals. A defeat which would be a first for over six months (!), And the band Laurent Blanc to abandon this advantage to Real, increasing the risk of hitting a bone in the month of February. Two weeks after a first too polite encounter at Parc des Princes (0-0), the masks will have to fall to Santiago Bernabeu. No more hiding. There will, no matter the outcome, a “winner” and “loser”.

Mark to exist
On the way, the Real, very decreased, had won the points facing a timid PSG (0-0). Paralyzed by the event. If he still has to contend with the absences of Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale too short physically, the Spanish giant with ten Champions League titles with the share nevertheless favors observers. Six years as Merengue, their unbeaten league leaders, no longer have been beaten at home in the group stage of the Champions League! At the time, the feat was signed AC Milan a certain Thiago Silva (2-3). “ I think the better you will play in Madrid and in Paris now provides the Parisian club captain on the TV channel. At Parc des Princes, had an obligation to win because we played at home. Real will have this obligation in the second leg and our forwards perhaps will enjoy the space. “

singled out for their lack of cutting it a fortnight ago, the offensive players PSG are expected to turn in a game where you have to score to exist. Set a goal to Real Madrid and their new number one keeper, the Costa Rican Keylor Navas, a challenge for Paris. Package against Las Palmas last weekend (3-1), the successor to Iker Casillas has never been caught failing in the Champions League this season. And remains impassable at home in all competitions. A wall to destroy to build the contours of a potential winner course in May. Sign of the importance of the appointment, Laurent Blanc has struck up his troops Friday in Rennes (0-1). Edinson Cavani, left Paris, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, remained on the bench, but Marco Verratti, Thiago Motta and Blaise Matuidi, whose playing time were allocated, all were able to recharge the batteries. Without this breaks the impressive Parisian dynamic (ten wins and two draws in twelve days of the championship, ten points ahead of the runner up in the ranking). “ It is with full confidence ” Matuidi plant.

Bring a touch of madness
Angel Di Maria himself has benefited from Breton air to score his fourth goal for his new club. And confirm his rise after a missed leg up big. In 2014, Argentina was one of the chief architects of “Decima” won by Real. If PSG recruited him for gold last summer (€ 63 million), is to offer a similar fate. To “dream bigger” as its slogan proclaims. For him to rise to the occasion in this type of encounter, surpass the emotional impact of his return, to bring the craziness that governs the great European nights. In the field of one of the biggest clubs in the world and facing one of the best players in the world, Cristiano Ronaldo, Paris has more to gain than to lose Tuesday night. So much to let go.
