UEFA Champions League enters the round of 16. One of the big games takes place at the Parc des Princes Stadium. So, it's PSG against Real Madrid. But, El Real failed to get a win after Kylian Mbappe managed to steal a 1-0 win. Real Madrid didn't really look bad. At the start of the match, they could actually match the game from Mauro Pochettino's team. But the attack that was launched by Madrid players, didn't really go well. So, possession of the ball was still inferior to PSG.

Despite the conditions at the start of the match, Madrid lost control of the game. So, the game turned in favor of PSG. A golden opportunity to score a goal for PSG could actually have happened earlier (minutes 62), if the penalty ball kicked by Lionel Messi went into the net. However, it didn't happen because Thibaut Courtois managed to guess the direction of the ball.

After the miss of Messi's penalty, PSG was increasingly aggressive to press Madrid defense. Meanwhile, Madrid cannot change the situation because their counterattack can always be broken by PSG players. But Madrid had bad luck. In the last remaining match, they couldn’t maintain the score of 0-0 after Kylian Mbappe managed to change the situation. After passing 1-2 players, Mbappe then released a kick that Courtois couldn't stop.

With this result, PSG is one step away from advancing to the last 8 rounds. However, Madrid still has a chance if in the 2nd meeting they can win with a minimum score of 2-0. The second leg will take place on 10 March 2022 at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.
