Why Paris Saint-Germain will beat Real Madrid

Paris Saint-Germain controlled the flow of the first leg. PSG possessed the ball 57% of the time. Although Paris scored a single goal, and it came off of Kylian Mbappe’s foot, Paris Saint-Germain had way more shots than Real, 21-to-3, and more shots on goal, 8-to-0. So even though Mbappe won’t play in this, Paris should escape Santiago Bernabeau with a regulation victory.

Final Betting Analysis: Paris Saint-Germain versus Real Madrid

No doubt, Paris Saint-Germain has enough quality players to beat Real without Kylian Mbappe. Lionel Messi, Neymar, and Angel Di Maria are three of the best strikers in the world.

Neymar, especially, could have a terrific match. Real didn’t see much of the Brazilian star in the first. So Carlo Ancelotti’s squad may not have the defense to stop Neymar.

But although Paris has a chance, Real is the play. RM didn’t suffer a knockout loss in the first leg and, like we wrote above, the match came on the heels of Real’s worst stretch of the season.

Things were so bad, Real dropped a match to La Liga Segundo Division squad Athletic Club in a Copa del Rey match. Don’t expect to see that RM squad for a while.

In their last, Karim Benzema, Marco Asensio, Luka Modric, and Eduardo Camavinga, all scored goals in Real’s 4-1 victory over Sociedad. Players who didn’t score goals include Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo.

Neymar and Messi must play great for PSG to win. Ancelotti can lean on four to six players to get the victory on Wednesday. Real is on fire. They’ll turn the tables on Paris Saint-Germain.
