Xtra Time Web Desk : The atmosphere surrounding the knock out stages of the UEFA Champions League will reach an immense height when Lionel Messi’s Paris Saint Germain face Carlo Ancelotti’s Real Madrid on Tuesday.
The clash of Titans set to be staged would be a mouth watering affair for say the least as both the star studded teams would look to come out on top as contenders for winning the mega tournament in order to reach the pinnacle of European football.
On one hand, PSG would be relieved over Neymar Jr. returning from injury to re form the striking trio of Messi-Neymar-Mbappe, Los Blancos would be depending upon the in form striking duo of Benzema-Vinicius to help them get through to the quarter final.
Although Pochettino’s team are the favourites to go through with Lionel Messi back to his best, the Spanish giants too won’t be much behind with the midfield they have, especially with a brilliant defensive midfielder in Casemiro.
Thus, this marquee round of 16 clash between PSG and Real Madrid could indeed turn out to be one of the best fixtures of this season’s UEFA Champions League.
