- Los Blancos have it all to do at home as they attempt to overturn 1-0 first-leg defeat at Parc des Princes three weeks ago
- Mbappe’s fitness a concern after training ground injury, with Carlo Ancelotti potentially fighting for his future in Madrid dug-out
Real Madrid are hoping to overturn a one-goal deficit in their Uefa Champions League round-of-16 second leg against Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday.
With serious injury doubts over PSG talisman Kylian Mbappe, who scored the only goal in the first leg, as well as increasing speculation over Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti’s future, and a potential homecoming for Sergio Ramos, there are several fascinating wrinkles ahead of this clash of titans.
Here’s what you need to know before two of Europe’s most popular teams lock horns for a place in the quarter-finals.
When does it start?
Kick-off is on Thursday morning at 4am Hong Kong time, which is 8pm GMT on Wednesday night, and 9pm Madrid time.
Where can I watch it?
In Hong Kong, the game will be broadcast officially on Now TV channel 643 or available via beIN SPORTS on a paid subscription.
Head-to-head
Real Madrid are slight favourites to win at their Santiago Bernabeu fortress, according to oddsmakers.
However, their win rate from their last 10 Champions League knockout ties after going down a goal in the first leg is only 10 per cent.
They had previously met in the Champions League group stage in 2020, where PSG humbled Madrid 3-0 at home before earning a 2-2 draw weeks later.
Madrid have only lost once in their last five against PSG in European competition, while PSG have only won one of their last eight Champions League away matches against Spanish opposition.
