Real Madrid Wins The First Leg

Prior to the game between Real Madrid and PSG yesterday, a lot of people did predict that the football Match will be a very interesting tie with probably PSG winning the fight because of Madrid current form.

However, despite agreeing with the fact that Madrid has been having a rather poor season, I didnt exactly come in terms with the fact that Madrid will be on the losing end of the game. In fact I did remember saying that I am sure Madrid won't lose at the Santiago Bernabeu as seen in the screenshot below.

Nonetheless, it was a Madrid win that worked right this time with Ronaldo netting a brace and taking his goal tally to 11 and a assist in the champions league and below is the full statistics of what transpired in the match yesterday between realmadrid and PSG.
