The UEFA Champions League is back in action with a set of knock-out fixtures this week as PSG lock horns with Carlo Ancelotti's Real Madrid side at the Parc des Princes on Tuesday.
PSG vs Real Madrid Preview
Real Madrid are currently at the top of the La Liga standings but have experienced a discernible slump in recent weeks. Los Blancos have impressive attacking talent in their ranks and will need to be at their best to pull off a positive result at the Parc des Princes.
PSG, on the other hand, have carved out a 13-point lead at the top of the Ligue 1 table and can afford to focus all their resources on what has been an elusive Champions League trophy. The Parisians have been inconsistent this season and will need to be wary of one of Europe's most formidable opponents this week.
