Real Madrid go into the return fixture at the Parc des Princes with a decent advantage (3-1), which is by no means a guarantee of progressing to the quarter-finals. In fact, looking at the precedent, that result will only encourage the French giants.
In 1993, 'Los Blanos' faced PSG in the then-called UEFA Cup (now Europa League) and the first leg ended in the same outcome as that of Wednesday night.
The Parisians believed in their chances of making it through to the semi-finals and completed a promising comeback thanks to the 4-1 result in the French capital. This time around, that very result in the second leg would see them through to the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
Weah, Ginola, Valdo and Kombouare sealed the win with Real Madrid, despite Zamorano's late consolation goal, throwing away the tie. Real Madrid will hope to avoid such a diminishing defeat while Neymar and co are reassured by the past meetings between both sides.
