#4. Real Madrid vs PSG / 2017-18
Real Madrid were going through a poor run in LaLiga last season. They were way behind their rivals FC Barcelona in the table and they had practically lost the title in December.
The only way to save the team's season was to win the Champions League and PSG was the first big test for Real Madrid in the round of 16. After the signings of Neymar and Mbappe, PSG were looking invincible. It was a rare occasion as the mighty Los Blancos were coming to the pitch as the underdogs in the Champions League.
Nobody favoured them to win. After a first half dominated by PSG at the Bernabeu, the score was 1-1. It was not until the intelligent substitution which brought Asensio and Lucas Vazquez in the game when Real started to dominate. Asensio changed the dynamic of the game. He provided an assist and created a chance for another goal in the final ten minutes and the final score in the first leg was 3-1.
Real Madrid started the second leg in Paris without three of their preferred midfielders as Modric, Kroos and Isco were injured. Even though Modric and Kroos were on the bench, only Kroos managed to get some game time. The final score in the second leg was 2-1. The score was just an understatement of what happened on the pitch. Real completely dominated the game for 90 minutes.
I personally liked this match so much because the PSG ultras had created a great atmosphere. But the spirits and willingness to win of Madrid's players was far more than that compared to players of PSG. The odds were very less, but with Cristiano in your team and Zidane as your coach, nothing is impossible. Ronaldo scored three goals in the two matches and helped Madrid advance on their way to their third UCL win in a row.
