The top of Group A is at stake in a double clash between
PSG and Real Madrid, with first chapter in the Parc des Princes. There, where
the 'Quinta del Vulture' rout fell in another era, comes a team depleted by
casualties key players like James Rodriguez, Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema, in
a moment that should enable a group of players stepped front.
The plague of low Madrid relieved in part by the return
of Sergio Ramos, who will risk even without being a hundred percent of his left
shoulder, and the Croatian Luka Modric, recovered late on muscle mishap with
your selection.
In defense alongside the absence of Pepe Carvajal Dani
and Alvaro Arbeloa, leaving a short Danilo so the only option on the right side
are added. Against Levante showed that lacks physical tone and will have to
prove he's ready for battle with complicated grief. Argentina's Angel Di Maria
will be a tough test in his encounter with Real Madrid and the desire to shine
before the team decided to give up feeling in the background.
Casemiro continuity in midfield despite the return of
Modric is emerging as the bet Benitez pulse for first place in the group. Real
Madrid started the competition at the Bernabeu goleando Shakhtar (4-0) and
beating at home to Malmoe (0-2). He is unbeaten in their last seven games, five
of which resulted in the victories. One of the two draws came in the Vicente
Calderon with a defensive change that left criticism of the Madrid coach. It
could use a win in a big house.
The test will last before a PSG full of great players who
are facing a season that should be key to the aspirations of the club, for the
period that their owners had to win European glory is met.
The team has never managed to win the Champions League,
the major objective of the investment fund Qatar Sport Investment, which in
2011 took control of PSG took five seasons to achieve the prized cup, a
deadline of the end of this season.
Although this is a game of the group stage, the match
against Real Madrid will allow the French to know what continental level are at
this point of the season. If lacerating injuries to the squad of Real Madrid,
PSG also get touched by sick leave, although it has eased the disabled list on
what seemed would be an overcrowded nursing.
All indications are that the Brazilian center David Luiz
will miss the match against Real Madrid, but it seems to be recovered
goalkeeper Kevin Trapp German and Italian midfielder Marco Verratti. "We
have high hopes to win back players on the field. Not only will you recover them,
but also to be competitive," said PSG coach Laurent Blanc before the
meeting.
