Incredible comeback by Real Madrid who played a great game, but who also took advantage of the rival’s big mistakes. We are going to see the hits and misses of the whites.
Benzema’s effectiveness
Another hat-trick from the Frenchman on a magical night that allows Real Madrid to continue dreaming of the Champions League. Benzema warned in the first half with a long shot that skimmed the post and a header that went into the hands of Donnarumma, but in the second half he had three chances and sent them into the net.
The entrance of Camavinga and Rodrygo
Ancelotti knew how to read the match and put in Camavinga and Rodrygo in the second half. The youngsters revolutionized a game in which Real Madrid needed some chaos and intensity to turn the tie around and Camavinga and Rodrygo were key.
The pressure and provocation of errors
In the second half, Real Madrid smelled blood and saw that pressing made PSG nervous. The first goal was caused by pressing the goalkeeper, and the third to the defender. The second part was a lesson that in some cases, the heart prevails over talent.
Carvajal helpless against Mbappé
Today Real Madrid has not been eliminated by millimeters. The VAR annulled two goals to Mbappé who destroyed Carvajal on the right wing. The man from Madrid was also alone for almost the entire game, which did not help his disadvantage against the Frenchman.
Little ball control
Real Madrid gave the ball to PSG in the first half and could have conceded several goals that would have made a comeback impossible.
The ownership of Asensio
Asensio started and did not contribute much to the team, neither in the game nor in defensive work, which meant that the Whites did not have much prominence on the right wing.
