After a 3-1 victory in the 1st leg things looked promising for Real Madrid. It was looking rough for the French team Paris Saint-Germain and it would only get worse when Neymar went down in a regular season match against Marseille. In this game he suffered a sprain of his right ankle and fissure of his fifth metatarsal. When this occurred many expected PSG to be knocked out much more easily by Real Madrid. Despite this game being in Paris, Real Madrid had the upper hand. The game was scoreless through the first half and the first goal came from Cristiano Ronaldo. In the 51′ minute he gave the Spanish side a 0-1 lead. Next came a second yellow card resulting in a red card for Marco Verratti. Although PSG was playing with only 10 men, they found a way to score a goal and it was by Edinson Cavani in the 71′ minute. This would make the leg 1-1 and the overall aggregate 2-4 and give PSG some sort of hope. All hope that they had gained would be crushed however, 9 minutes later when Casemiro scored and brought the aggregate to 2-5 where PSG looked to be done for. Real Madrid would eventually win deservedly and move on to quarterfinals. What matchups do you hope to see in the next round of the Champions League?
