PSG 1-2 Real Madrid Full-time! It’s all over for PSG. Real Madrid are through to the quarter-finals. Liverpool’s game against Porto ends 0-0 and they also make the cut to next round. Preview: Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid meet on Tuesday in a huge Champions League clash that will make or break both clubs’ seasons, with severe consequences for the loser. [caption id=“attachment_4379359” align=“alignleft” width=“380”]  File image of Cristiano Ronaldo. AFP[/caption] Two-time reigning European champions Real are in the box seat coming into the round of 16, second leg match at the Parc des Princes, having won 3-1 when the clubs met in Spain last month when Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice. PSG are up against it, all the more so with Neymar, the world’s most expensive player missing as he recovers in Brazil following a foot operation. But the lavish spending of the Paris club’s Qatari owners in recent years means there is enough quality in their squad for them to maintain hope of turning the tie around even without their 222-million-euro ($275 million) talisman. “This club has had its limits in this competition in the past and now we need to go beyond them to keep on progressing as a club,” warned PSG defender Dani Alves, a former Champions League winner with Barcelona. “We have a unique opportunity to change the history of the club. We need to believe we can do it,” the 34-year-old Brazilian said. Elimination, after PSG had taken the lead in the first leg, would surely hasten the departure of Spanish coach Unai Emery. He has never completely won over the doubters and has never previously made it past the last 16 in this competition, with the 6-1 humiliation in Barcelona a year ago still fresh in the memory. End of a cycle? Out of contract at the end of this season, Emery is relying on big performances from players like Thiago Silva and Angel Di Maria, who were both left out in the first leg. A victory for the hosts in the French capital would be the most significant result for PSG since the Qatari takeover in 2011, after four straight quarter-final eliminations and the collapse in Barcelona in the last 16 a year ago. But another premature exit would raise questions as to the long-term viability of the Qatar project – the money spent on Neymar, the 180 million euros committed to signing French starlet Kylian Mbappe and a host of other big transfer fees, was meant to fast-track the club to European glory. An exit would also see PSG lose out on extra millions on offer for further progress in Europe, money which would help them meet UEFA’s financial fair play rules. “Certain narrow-minded people will no doubt take great pleasure from going back over the investments of last summer,” former PSG player David Ginola told Le Parisien newspaper when asked what the reaction would be to a defeat. “But for now let’s leave open the possibility that PSG will make us dream.” There is a precedent for the Parisians overturning a 3-1 deficit against Real, and Ginola remembers it well – he scored as the French side beat the Spanish giants 4-1 in their UEFA Cup quarter-final second leg in 1993. It was with a nod to that game that the headline on the cover of sports daily L’Equipe on Tuesday screamed: “To Be Repeated”. Such an exploit would be bad news for Real coach Zinedine Zidane, with the Spanish giants throwing everything into their quest to win a third consecutive Champions League. They are currently third in La Liga, 15 points behind leaders Barcelona, and are long since out of the Copa del Rey. Without continued progress in the Champions League, it will be a long couple of months until the end of the season for Real. “After the game, it’s going to be difficult for one of the two teams, but that is football,” admitted Zidane, one of France’s most celebrated players. His remarkable record in his first two years in charge at the Bernabeu means sacking him would not be easy for club president Florentino Perez. However, a first last-16 exit for Madrid since 2010 may signal the end of a cycle. Ronaldo, who scored his 100th Champions League goal for Real in the first leg, is 33 now and Perez is likely to step up the search for a new megastar signing in the summer, win or lose on Tuesday.

What a performance from the defending champions. They have shown the power of experience. Almost all players in the XI are European champions. They made sure they get the job done first time around by beating PSG 3-1. A game where Neymar was playing. Today, they completed the formalities. A compulsory Cristiano Ronaldo goal and Casemiro’s deflection effort seal the deal for Real.
It was not a bad game for PSG but their quality didn’t match up to Real Madrid.
PSG 1-2 Real Madrid
Full-time! It’s all over for PSG. Real Madrid are through to the quarter-finals. Liverpool’s game against Porto ends 0-0 and they also make the cut to next round.
PSG doing an Arsenal here. If you know what I mean.
I'm hearing rumours PSG want Wenger.

GOAL! 80’ PSG 1-2 Real Madrid
Casemiro’s shot takes big deflection and the ball finds the back of the net. The aggregate is 2-5 in the favour of Real so it’s fair to assume that it’s all over for PSG. A top performance from Zinedine Zidane’s team.
Change for Real Madrid!

GOAL! 71’ PSG 1-1 Real Madrid
A scrappy goal from Cavani as PSG level the scoreline. Di Maria’s cross finds Thiago Silva as his header hits Sergio Ramos and then on the way, the ball hits Cavani to find the back of the net.
One more goal and PSG can start hoping, again.
65’ PSG 0-1 Real Madrid
RED CARD! Marco Verratti is off after receiving second yellow card for going aggressive on referee. PSG’s day almost over now.
61’ PSG 0-1 Real Madrid
Now PSG need three goals to proceed to the quarter-finals of the tournament. A task that is quickly becoming impossible. Real Madrid, once again, proved that they are a force to reckon with in Champions League. PSG splashed cash left, right and centre with aim to clinch Champions League title but looks like the dream will not be fulfilled this year.
Whadda player!

GOAAAALL!
PSG 0-1 Real Madrid
It’s that man again. Cristiano Ronaldo heads the ball to perfection as Real Madrid take lead. Lucas Vazquez’s ball from the left found Ronaldo in the middle, who uses his heads to complete the goal. Poor defending from PSG’s Dani Alves.
46’ PSG 0-0 Real Madrid
Referee stops play as PSG Ultras come out with flames in the stand. All fine now as players get on with the game.

45’ PSG 0-0 Real Madrid
Second-half is underway. Time’s running out for PSG as they desperately need goals. Usually, Real Madrid up the ante in the final 45 minutes so it will be interesting to see what they can come up with.
Not much time’s left for them.
3 - Paris Saint-Germain mustered just three shots against Real Madrid in the first half; the lowest total they've managed at home in the Champions League since October 2015 (also v Real). Frustrated. pic.twitter.com/vifyvNjc5G

Spot on!
Like the first leg, there's something disjointed and slightly chaotic about this game. You couldn't call it bad, really, but you don't feel like you're watching the absolute pinnacle, either.

PSG 0-0 Real Madrid
It’s half-time as both teams fail to break deadlock despite few lively chances. At Anfield, Liverpool’s game against Porto has not seen any goals as well in first 45 minutes.
43’ PSG 0-0 Real Madrid
PSG come up with a good play in the midfield but Di Maria’s pass to Cavani is well intercepted by goalkeeper Navas. Seconds later, Mbappe shoots from a tight angle on right, forcing a save from Navas, again.
38’ PSG 0-0 Real Madrid
Karim Benzema goes close with a one on one chance against Areola but goalkeeper blocks the shot with his legs. Something’s brewing up here.
34’ PSG 0-0 Real Madrid
Yellow card for Mateo Kovacic for a bad foul on Angel Di Maria. Freekick for PSG but Sergio Ramos heads away the ball. PSG looking confident but not coming with anything special.
30’ LIV 0-0 PORTO
It has been a dull affair so far at the Anfield though Liverpool went close with Sadio Mane, who smashes the post with a good effort.
Of course!
#UCL winner Ángel Di María made 124 Liga appearances for Real Madrid, scoring 22 goals. Key player for Paris tonight? 💪 pic.twitter.com/L4sbLyXQVH

25’ PSG 0-0 Real Madrid
PSG wins a freekick in a danger area and Angle Di Maria’s shot is deflected towards a corner. Nothing comes out from the corner as well. So far, both the goalkeepers have not been tested.
17’ PSG 0-0 Real Madrid
Real comes close with Sergio Ramos. His flick from a corner is saved well by goalkeeper Areola. Few minutes later, Marco Verratti gets first card of the game . A yellow for a cynical challenge on Casemiro.
Much is dependent on this guy!

10’ PSG 0-0 Real Madrid
Looks like Real’s game plan for now is to attack on counter. They are happy to defend while trying to setup the attacking front from the right, where Cristiano Ronaldo is hovering.
Meanwhile, it’s also 0-0 at Anfield.
5’ PSG 0-0 Real Madrid
PSG start on a good note. Both teams are settling in but PSG have shown the much-needed urgency. Both teams strive hard to play attacking brand of football so mostly it will not be a dull game, unless Real want to slow it down.
1’ PSG 0-0 Real Madrid
It’s kickoff at the Parc des Princes. There was a minute’s silence before the start of the play in memory of Fiorentina captain Davide Astori, who tragically died on Sunday at a young age of 31.
It’s almost kickoff time.
