PSG coach, Mauricio Pochettino, understands this very well. Madrid’s outstanding record in the Champions League proves that El Real is a very solid team in all aspects.

“Real Madrid is one of the biggest clubs in the world when you take into account their history and titles. With their 13 Champions League titles you can see that it’s not just about the players or the coaching staff; it’s a strength within the club. You win trophies, it is a combination of several factors, especially in this competition because there are no favourites,” Pochettino was quoted as saying on the PSG website.
“It could feel like a Champions League final given the quality of both teams. Paris Saint-Germain hope to win this title. They are one of the contenders for that. The club strengthened itself in the summer to be closer to that dream. I have full confidence in my team and to our fans. We are at the same level as them in this match.”
