At 4:00 a.m. Beijing time on February 16, the Champions League quarterfinals ushered in a peak battle, Paris Saint-Germain against Real Madrid. Real Madrid went relatively well in La Liga, winning 16 of the first 24 rounds, ranking first. Although Barca and Atletico are basically no threat to Real Madrid, there is still sevilla, a fierce rival, and the gap between them and Real Madrid is very small. Real Madrid's form has not been very stable recently, with only 1 win in 4 games in all competitions, 2 draws and 1 loss. In the current state of Real Madrid, it is extremely difficult to beat the superstar Paris Saint-Germain away, and as a result, Real Madrid lost in a passive situation in the whole field, and it was killed, which was too cruel to lose.
Ancelotti discharged in a 433 formation. Courtois served as the starting goalkeeper. Mendy, Alaba, Militão and Carvajal partnered at 4 backs. Kroos, Casemiro and Modric make up the 3 midfielders. The attacking combination of Benzema, Vinicius and Asensio joined forces. Hazard, Jovic, Bale, Rodrigo, Vazquez and Ceballos are all on the bench.
Paris Saint-Germain, who played at home, played extremely aggressively, always suppressing Real Madrid in the half, and the rebound after conceding the ball was very rapid, and the Real Madrid players could not do anything. Being suppressed in such a frenzy may not have been thought of by Ancelotti. For Real Madrid, it was nice not to concede a goal in the first half. Paris Saint-Germain played even crazier in the second half, with chances to score goals, but always a little bit less interesting. Kylian Mbappe made a penalty, but Messi missed it, allowing Real Madrid to escape. In order to change the bad situation, Ancelotti constantly made substitutions, first for Rodrigo and Vázquez, then for Hazard and Valverde, and finally even for Bale. But Ancelotti didn't help changing these 5 people, but instead conceded the ball in the last minute. Mbappe struck a fatal blow in the 93rd minute!
In the post-match whoscored rating, Courtois was the highest scoring player in Real Madrid, making eight saves and scoring 8.4 points. If it were not for Courtois's wonderful performance, Real Madrid would have been beaten long ago. However, the result was still too cruel for Courtois, and all his efforts were still in vain. The most depressed of Paris Saint-Germain is Messi, who scored 8 shots and 0 goals and conceded penalties. However, he had 4 key passes and 5 successful passes and was very active, scoring 7.2 points. Mbappe was undoubtedly the best of the game, scoring a game-high 8.8 points on 4 of 7 shots on target. Mbappe has once again proved his ability. Mbappe played 53 games in his Champions League career and produced a total of 51 goals, including 32 goals and 19 assists, and he is only 23 years old, which is a phenomenon. With Mbappe's ability, sooner or later he will be able to win the Ballon d'Or.
