Di Maria: Madrid sold me to cover big signings

In Man United’s group, PSV Eindhoven had a 2-0 win at home to Wolfsburg, Jürgen Locadia and Luuk de Jong grabbing the goals in the second half.

“It is a prestigious match, but a victory at Real Madrid doesn’t give us any guarantee of being in the quarter or semi-finals in the spring”.

Madrid drew against PSG in their last contest in the Champions League 0-0 and are looking to claim their 11th European title.

However, Madrid are set to be without a host of first-team regulars with Gareth Bale, James Rodriguez and Karim Benzema all unlikely to be risked by Rafael Benitez.

‘I wanted to see if I could renew and they didn’t want me to.

Real defender Marcelo said: “I’m expecting a very hard match”.

“In the second half we were better but I think it is important to remember that we have qualified for the next round and we have done so with players out injured”.

PSG also have their injury concerns with highly rated Brazilian center back Marquinhos suffering from a thigh problem and David Luiz is also not sure to start. They struck the post twice and the bar once as Di Maria, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Edinson Cavani all failed to score past Keylor Navas to secure a well-deserved equaliser.

“I didn’t leave for money”, Di Maria told reporters after PSG’s defeat on Tuesday night.

After the break Di Maria’s shot was blocked by Navas, while Isco and Kroos could have doubled Real’s lead only to be denied by Trapp.

Manchester United beat CSKA Moscow 1-0 as Wayne Rooney scored the first goal for the Red Devils in over 400 minutes.

“I am happy because we are through”.

However, Real will be facing a tough test, as this PSG side remains undefeated in 16 games this season, and they will be confident at causing an upset at the Bernabeu tonight.
