Real Madrid qualified for the last-16 round of the Champions League as they earned a hard victory against Paris Saint-Germain thanks to a lucky goal from Nacho Fernandez.
In the group’s other game last night, Shakhtar Donetsk routed Malmo 4-0 to move up to third place in the standings with three points.
“They had a lot of possession and they also caused us problems on the counter”, Madrid defender Sergio Ramos said. It won’t be easy going for PSG to stop the Real Madrid firehouse from scoring but their recent defensive record will boost their confidence as the French Champions have conceded only one goal in previous four matches.
He indicated that it was a good response to what the club felt was harsh criticism of the side after the 0-0 draw between the two teams in Paris on October 21. The main headline of this game is that Angel Di Maria returns to the Bernabeu following his transfer this past summer. It is bad and we have lost our first game 1-0, in a match we would normally have won…
PSG chief Nasser Al-Khelaifi has stoked Cristiano Ronaldo transfer rumours by claiming talks would be held in secret.
Sevilla who were at home then rallied back through Benoit Tremoulinas in the 25th minute but City striker, Wilfried Bony restored his side’s two goal lead in the 36th minute. His lone chance was a 26th-minute free kick that was easily saved by Trapp.
Ronaldo’s action after the game could also make sure reports linking him with PSG keep coming. Real Madrid were without few important players at the Parc des Princes and they were the better team that day.
The likely absences of forwards Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale as well as playmaker James Rodriguez have forced the Spaniard to shuffle his pack and turn to his second-string players.
