Yeah that definitely puts things firmly in PSG favour if true
I can't believe Zidane is actually benching Bale, Kroos and Modric, blows my mind.
Aren't they all injured/recovering from injury?

PSG can definitely turn this around
He said he wants Kroos and Modric at 100% of their capacity but expect them to enter during the game.
In fact, the last 20 minutes of the 1st leg makes him think it's the best setup to disturb PSG
They can play. Spanish press say they are at "70%"
Former is in average form and the latter two only returned to training two days ago so it's not unjustifiable. Still I'd have expected Kroos and Modric to play too, risky stuff.
Wow, real with no midfield. Expect PSG to completely dominate them.
Against PSG's midfield, I think Madrid are in trouble here. Neymar is a loss but PSG don't need him to win this game.
I'm not saying it's a bad call, I just never expected Zidane to trust his bench to start a game like this if Modric and Kroos are barely fit to play.
PSG can win this, however almost impossible for me to not see Madrid not scoring. 2-1 to PSG.
Fair enough.
PSG no surprise

I've still got Madrid at 7/2. Cant turn that price down.
The thread name changes every other minute.
The strategy is clear
1) Defensive Strategy: Compact team so a conservative 4-4-2 with Cristiano Ronaldo free of high defensive tasks. No risks
2) Offensive Strategy: Lethal counter-attacks to make Cristiano score
Whoever loses this is getting sacked
Feck, forgot Neymar is injured. Think this will be an energetic tie, but he would've made it livelier.
Big task for Kovacic this game, he'll either shine and be completely out of his depth.
still 100% sure Madrid wont lose today. I bet CR7 will score again. he loves UCL.
Real look weak on the midfield, but will gave four great subs; Bale, Modric, Kroos and Isco. With this tactics, ZZ can sub players to intensify the match and even improve the skills the last 20-30 minutes. That is what won the first match.
terrible lineup from madrid. Think they might get punished.
That Madrid team looks weak. They are there for the taking.
Finally Mbappe starting as an inside forward on the right.
Imagine if he scored a hattrick and PSg went through
Motta back as well.
Can't wait for this. Going to cheer for Madrid.
Real to win somehow. PSG manager to get sacked.
Kovacic and Asensio to step it up bigtime, you heard it here first.

Come on you plastic bastards! I told everyone ahead of this tie that I'd be glad to see whichever team crash and burn, but it turns out I was wrong - I absolutely want Real to go no further.
If Verratti and Rabiot play to the level they can, and Mbappe too, then I see PSG winning this comfortably. I'm going with a 3-1 PSG win. The concern would be Berchiche at LB. Not good enough for PSG when you look at the other players in that side.
This fixture reminds me a bit of the '03 games we played against Madrid. 3-1 and 4-3 (Ronaldo hat trick). Similar in terms of star names too, except three of Madrid's are on the bench.

Zidane with balls.
Whether they are gutsy or foolish remains to be seen. Should be a classic.

Good to see Motta back. Brilliant player who was a huge miss last leg.
PSG can’t stop Ronaldo. He wants this trophy too much.
If we don't win this, Madrid need to. We can't let any of the other English clubs take it!!!
Got a bad feeling about Liverpool doing very well and maybe going all the way. They seem to raise the game for the big games a lot.
Real without Kroos is interesting. PSG to win it 3—1
Yup. He's the fastest player on Real Madrid team. According to the data collected by the league. Eye test also says so. Him, followed by Varane, Kovacic and Bale
FixedNasser to Aleksander: We have a substantial donation for UEFA
Florentino: sorry, you have the wrong number. *whispers* yes alexander, just like i told you
Kroos, Modric, Isco and Bale not fit?
Donatello does machines, Ronaldo's a machine, therefore M'bappé will negate Ronaldo
