Real Madrid hosts Paris Saint-Germain in the second leg of the Champions League 1/8 finals. The match will be played on Wednesday, March 9th at Estadio Santiago Bernabéu (Madrid)
Real Madrid reached the 1/8 finals after taking first place in Group D. Carlo Ancelotti's team scored 15 points in matches against Inter Milan (1-0 and 2-0), Shakhtar Donetsk (5-0 and 2-1), and Sheriff Tiraspol (1-2 and 3-0). The Whites can already boast of winning the trophy, the Spanish Super Cup. Being eliminated from the Copa Del Rey, Real Madrid continues to fight on two tournaments left. Galacticos are on the verge of relegation from the Champions League after a poor start in the playoffs, but they look like the main contenders for the champion’s title in Spanish LaLiga.

Paris Saint-Germain began its performance in the Champions League in Group A. Mauricio Pochettino's team made it to the playoffs from 2nd place with 11 points scored in matches against Manchester City (2-0 and 1-2), RB Leipzig (3-2 and 2-2). and Club Brugge KV (1-1 and 4-1). Unlike Real Madrid, the Parisians didn’t replenish their collection of trophies. PSG lost to Lille in the French Super Cup final (0-1) and was eliminated by Nice in the 1/8 finals of the Coupe de France (0-0 and 5-6 on penalties). However, Pochettino’s team will almost certainly regain the champion’s title in Ligue 1. After 26 rounds, the Red-Blues have a 15-point lead over second-placed Marseille.
The first leg of the 1/8 finals took place in Paris on February 15. The hosts had the initiative during almost the entire match but converted their chance only before the final whistle. Kylian Mbappe scored a winning goal in the 94th minute. PSG could have taken the lead earlier if Lionel Messi had converted a penalty in the middle of the 2nd half. The situation of Real Madrid looks difficult. The Whites have lost Mendy and Casemiro and are in danger of being left without Kroos. With such losses, it will be hard for Ancelotti's coaching staff to organize an effective resistance to the Parisian team. Galacticos were noticeably weaker in the 1st part of the confrontation with PSG. The 1-0 score did not reflect the real balance of power: the Parisians could have scored a few goals if they had used their numerous chances more effectively. A home victory makes things easier for the Parisians. In the capital of Spain, they will try to use counterattacks and are likely to have more chances of winning.
Prediction for the match: Paris Saint-Germain to win with 0.0 handicap
