In the clash by the eighth of final of the Champions between the Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain there will be something more at stake. No longer it treats only of the classification to the following phase of the tournament: only one of the two will be able to continue litigating by two of the most important trophies of the season 2021-22; to the loser, only will remain him litigate by his League.
The team of Mauritius Pochettino, one of the big called to win it everything in the course with a staff that includes names like the ones of Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappé or Neymar Jr. It remained out of the Glass of France in the Park of the Princes in front of the Nice by the road of the penaltis. In spite of having a trident of luxury, any is in his best moment, except the French, whose future with the Parisians is in doubt.
By his part, the Madrid seems to live a similar reality to the one of the team of the City Luz. They come to fall deleted in front of the Athletic of Bilbao in the Glass of the King by 1-0 in Saint Mamés and only subtracts them litigate by the two remaining trophies. However, they will not go in white, since have in the pocket the Supercopa of Spain, conquered precisely in front of the 'lions'.
The PSG, with something more than pressure
In the case of the PSG still do not arrive the trophies. In fact, they fell in the Trophée of Champions contested in August. Even so, they keep a more comfortable advantage on the second in the tournament of the regularity: they are leaders to ten points of advantage of the Olympique of Marseilles, that adds a party more than the ones of Pochettino. The Madrid has it a bit more difficult with the Seville to four points.
Both clubs play a lot in the eliminatory. Perhaps the greater weight was of the side of the French, that in spite of the enormous cost in signings and wages in the last years still does not finish to attain his aim: win the Champions. A defeat could finish with Pochettino out of the team, what to his time could involve the signing of Zinedine Zidane, the one who has sounded with strength to replace to the Argentinian in the bench.
