Paddy Power ambassador Phil Thompson is back again to preview the Champions League Last 16 second legs.
WELCOME TO PADDY POWER NEWS
His attention is on Real Madrid v PSG as two of the biggest teams in Europe go head to head at the Bernabeu in Madrid. PSG boast a 1-0 lead heading into the second leg. Here’s what Thommo’s tipping up.
Wednesday 8:00pm: Real Madrid v PSG
BT Sport 3
THOMMO: Kylian Mbappe netted a 94th minute winner in the first leg in Paris to give PSG a 1-0 lead heading into the second leg on Wednesday night. He wasn’t in the squad for PSG’s defeat against Nice in Ligue 1 last weekend. However, it doesn’t matter much in the league as they’re running away with it!
I’m not sure they get enough competition there, so it’s a little harder when they get to the Champions League and try to turn it on.
Madrid could have easily won the first leg. PSG’s front three on the weekend was Lionel Messi, Neymar and Angel Di Maria. They’re obviously incredible going forward but will they do defensive work? I don’t think so.
Madrid have had a resurgence in La Liga and they’re clear at the top of the table after winning 4-0 last weekend.
With losing the first leg, they’ll be fired up and they’ll go at PSG. The French side obviously have attacking threat too so I really like Both Teams to Score in this one.
I’m also going with Real Madrid to Win 3-1 and Karim Benzema to Score Anytime. Benzema is on fire this season and with Real knowing they need to go forward and win the game, he will have a few chances.
Real Madrid v PSG tips:
Both Teams to Score
Real Madrid to Win 3-1
Karim Benzema to Score Anytime
