Having met each other many times in the past, it was not surprising that both PSG and Real Madrid entered the game quite openly from the first minutes.
Having the lead, PSG are still in control of the match and a goal is inevitable.
Entering the second half, PSG actively retreated deep into the squad and waited for an opportunity to counterattack.
Helpless in finding a way into their opponent’s goal, Real Madrid had to concede one more goal before time ran out.
This victory is an affirmation that PSG is still alive and well even without the trio of Neymar, Mbappe and Cavani.
