Real Madrid are aiming to overturn a 1-0 deficit they suffered from Paris Saint Germain in their first leg fixture at Parc des Princes. A powerful strike from Kylian Mbappe was all that was needed to separate the two capital giants in their first leg of the UEFA Champions League round of 16 tie. Mbappe has been rumoured with a transfer move to Real Madrid and he might not be embraced well by the Los Blancos fans if his strike proves to be the one that will see the LaLiga giants bid farewell to the UCL. 

Apart from Mbappe, Real Madrid will be facing an uphill task from PSG's super star Lionel Messi who will for sure pose a big threat at their goal post. The super star has been in his way to finding his natural form that he used to enjoy back with the Catalan giants, Barcelona. Madrid will definitely be hoping that tomorrow is not the day Messi gets back to his form. History is not with Real Madrid as they go into the fixture tomorrow for they have been sent packing twice in the last three UCL editions in the round of 16 knock-out stage. However, they are on a 13 games unbeaten run at home ever since suffering the shocking defeat to Sheriff Tiraspol. 

The Ligue 1 giants have suffered 3 consecutive exits from the UCL competition in the round of 16 since 2017 to 2019. PSG were however the runners up of the 2019-20 season suffering a defeat from Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich. That is the closest the French giants have ever come to winning the most coveted cup in European club football. Mauricio Pochettino has been tasked with bringing the title to Paris and he is not just about to let go of his 1-0 lead against Real Madrid the more reason why tomorrow's clash will be explosive and smoky.
