Real Madrid will play Paris St Germain in the Champions League on Tuesday night in a massive game to determine who is likely to come out on top of Group A and gain a potentially easier route through the knock out rounds.
Shakhtar Donetsk crushed Malmo 4-0 for their first victory of this campaign.
“He was spectacular tonight and was excellent in the last league game”, said Blanc. Without the injured David Silva and Sergio Aguero, City still continues to get results. “That play could have been avoided”.
“We must reflect on what we didn’t do well in the first half and a lot of things in defence”, said Benitez.
This time PSG created most of the risky scoring opportunities.
And the 27-year-old, who recently admitted he didn’t want to leave Madrid in the first place, explained his departure after the game on Tuesday.
Angel di Maria will be making his return to Bernabeu but as a PSG player this time.
“This match will be very special for Di María”, he told UEFA’s official site.
“They were better than us with possession and played faster in Paris. We’ll carry on that way”.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic has a free-kick go just wide off the post early on.
Ronaldo earlier revealed that he is unsure where his future lies, but is now very happy with his role at Real so far. His lone chance was a 26th-minute free kick that was easily saved by Trapp.
Madrid drew against PSG in their last contest in the Champions League 0-0 and are looking to claim their 11th European title. Real Madrid were without few important players at the Parc des Princes and they were the better team that day.
“He is continuing to improve, but this will be a match of high intensity and importance”.
