Paris Saint-Germain is one of the big candidates to conquer the European title, and taking into account the abysmal state of form of the merengues, is not any madness that the PSG surpass easily the eliminatory.
Still it is missing a month so that it play the gone of eighth of final, and the dynamic can change. But, to day of today and seeing how have been the last months, few trust an immediate reaction of a Real Madrid that is sunk, whereas Paris Saint-Germain has known to surpass the small altibajos that has had up to now.
Unai Emery has to his disposal one of the best staff of the planet, and with Neymar Jr like big crashes the Parisians have all the ones to win against the Real Madrid, even more motivated and ambitious when smelling 'the blood' that brota without ceasing in the Real Madrid.
