How far a team goes in the season depends a lot on the bench strength and the depth a side has within their squad. Real Madrid had an extraordinary amount of talent available to them coming off the bench last season. The likes of Morata, James, Isco, Pepe, were all world class players who could change the course of a game.

PSG, this season have something of that sort up their sleeves. With the likes of Angel Di Maria, Julian Draxler, Javier Pastore and Dani Alves, PSG are not just limited to star-power within the starting eleven. It is a luxury that not many teams have in this modern day and age.

This season, Real Madrid have a good, young and talented bunch on the bench. However, lack of proper chances have meant that they might not really be ready for a game of such magnitude.

PSG's reserve players look the more likely to cause damage and be the required game-changers as compared to Real Madrid's. Something that is bound to hand the French side the advantage when it comes to giving that something extra on the pitch.
