Hi guys!
One of the central matches of the first round will be a meeting between PSG and Real on 18 September
PSG
PSG did not change its tradition last year and easily won the championship of France, having broken away from the nearest stalker in the person of Lille by 16 points. Parisians were also stable in the Champions League - another sensational departure from Manchester United in the 1/8 finals.
In addition, Thomas Tuchel 's team did not live up to fans "predictions in the Cup of France, losing the final to Rennes and leaving the League Cup at the quarter-finals stage.
However, the German mentor remained at the helm of the team and the season began with a 2-1 victory in the Super Bowl over Rennes. In the championship Parisians stepped up only once, having lost 1:2 still to the same ill-fated Rennes, but fixed on the first line in the table with 12 points. In the last round PSG with the score 1-0 beat Strasbourg thanks to the goal of Neymar, which was still exalted by fans.
Real Madrid
For Real last season was also unsuccessful - only bronze in the championship, departure from Ajax in the 1/8 finals of the Champions League, failure in the Cup of Spain. In summer "cream" tried to strengthen seriously, inviting Eden Azar, Luke Jovich, Ferlan Mendi, Eder Militan, spending more than 300 million euros on transfers.
Zinedine Zidane also managed to settle the conflict with Gareth Bale, who grew brighter closer to the close of the transfer window. However, the strengthening of the result did not bring much - according to the results of four rounds "Real" the third in the table with eight points. Far from perfect and the game "galacticos" - having not yet met the main competitors, they regularly fail in defense, having managed to win two meetings out of four.
Statistics and personal meetings
- Four times the teams met within the Champions League and never once Real lost PSG - three victories and a draw
- Real missed two goals in each of the last two matches
- In only one of the last eight away matches Real managed to win, lost three times
- PSG have not lost in any of the last 10 home matches - eight wins and two draws
Both teams are far from perfect this season - if PSG at the expense of the class manage to stay at the top of the table in the championship of France, then Real has no such privilege, it is only the sixth. Especially heavy for "cream" get away meetings - this season he played twice outside the native walls and both times was close to failure, having pulled a draw from Villarreal and having produced a very difficult victory over not the most powerful "Celta."
Against its background PSG looks much more holistic - Parisians also have the problems, but on the field they play killed and much less wrong in defense, it is owners today it is possible to call the clear favorite of a duel.
PSG – Real Madrid 1(0) with 1,72 for 4% of bank
