Paris Saint Germain (PSG) are all set to host Real Madrid for Champions League’s last-16 second-leg clash on Tuesday evening.

The Parc des Princes will welcome the kings of Europe, as back-to-back Champions League winners Real Madrid come to town looking to confirm their passage to the quarter-finals of this year's tournament.

Real Madrid also come with Cristiano Ronaldo, the king of this competition. The No.7 from the Spanish side has scored in all seven of his Champions League appearances this season for a total of 11 goals, two of them in the first leg at the Santiago Bernabeu, which Real Madrid won 3-1.

The last time Los Blancos didn't score at least once in the Champions League was in the semi-finals of 2015/16, when Ronaldo wasn't present and when Manchester City kept them out.

On the other hand, the hosts had a major blow, when their world record signing, Neymar ruled out from the game due to injury last week. They will likely turn to former Manchester United and Real Madrid man Angel Di Maria.

However, with lack of form for Real Madrid in LaLiga, Pairs have a great chance to knock out the defending champions. However, they have to put in an extra effort to take down the European giant.
