#4 Better midfield
While Paris-Saint Germain undoubtedly have the better attack arguably the sturdier defence (given how Real Madrid have defended this season, I can’t claim anything else), the Galacticos’ midfield is still a level above that of the Parisiens.
PSG have Draxler, Veratti and Rabiot at the centre, which is a pretty creative midfield. The French giants might also have the brilliant-but-inexperienced Giovani Lo Celso and veteran-but-ever-inconsistent Lassana Diarra, but they lack the experience and/or steely presence that someone like a Thiago Motta usually provides.
The Italian’s flirtation with injuries might have put him in a perpetual decline—and this is where Real Madrid could take the advantage.
The Blancos have Luka Modric and Toni Kroos in midfield and they could be accompanied by either one of Isco, Kovacic or Casemiro. In any case, the tenacity in Madrid’s midfield is more while also not losing the creativity.
Rabiot gives PSG some tenacity, but overall, Madrid’s midfield is more balanced.
