Despite a winning result against Paris Saint-Germain, the ESPN FC crew remain unimpressed by Real Madrid’s play in the UCL. “I’m happy in Paris and I hope to be for many years”. The two sides played a goalless draw when Real Madrid visited Parc des Princes, which drew much criticism for lack of enthusiasm from PSG players Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Angel di Maria.
PSG will rue their poor finishing as they missed several chances, especially in the first period when Adrien Rabiot’s volley hit the post after 37 minutes.
Real Madrid now sit at the top of Group A on 10 points from four games whereas PSG are in second place with seven points from four games after losing their first match in all competitions this season.
This should be a very interesting match between the two teams to see who will have the sole top spot in Group A.
A mysterious on-pitch chat with Paris Saint-Germain manager Laurent Blanc has fueled rumours that Cristiano Ronaldo could be on his way out of Real Madrid sooner rather than later, as speculation grows over the 30-year-old’s future. His performance is the key to the parisians defense and he will have to have a good game against a healthy Madrid attack.
“The team are doing well but I am convinced that they will improve”, added the 55-year-old, who won the Champions League title in his first season with Liverpool in 2005. We’ve got a great margin of improvement. We cannot always speak when someone makes a mistake, that is a part of football.
Gareth Bale was injured while James Rodriguez was an unused substitute after returning to the squad following nearly two months on the sidelines. “We have to stay very vigilant but, I insist, as I said before, we have to pay a lot of attention to the offensive game”, he said.
Di Maria was sold to Manchester United for a British-record £59.7million in August 2014 but the Argentina worldwide never settled in the Premier League, eventually sold to French champions PSG in a deal worth £44.3m the next summer.
