The characteristically ruthless PSG attack was gagged for a huge chunk of the encounter, with Real Madrid starving the likes of Kylian Mbappe and Mauro Icardi of the ball for much of the matchup. Neymar was also introduced, but he too was kept relatively quiet.

However, the threat of a PSG resurgence always loomed, with Los Blancos continually spurning chances and remaining within touching distance of PSG.

True to the prediction of many, Zinedine Zidane's men were punished ruthlessly, as the irrepressible Mbappe pounced on a blip in the Los Blancos rearguard to ignite a late comeback.

A few minutes later, substitute Pablo Sarabia was alert and on hand to stab home the equaliser, putting all the hard work Zidane's men had put in to shut the ruthless PSG attack all game in vain. The French giants were restricted to only 4 shots on target in the game, but they made those meagre numbers count in the end.
