Win still possible against Real Madrid, says PSG coach
Paris, March 5 (IANS) Paris Saint Germain coach Unai Emery on Monday said a win was still possible against Real Madrid in the second leg of UEFA Champions League round-of-16, despite losing 1-3 in the first leg.
PSG’s Brazilian star Neymar is out with an ankle injury, while Real got a huge boost with key players Toni Kroos and Luka Modric being called up for Tuesday’s match, in which PSG is to host Real Madrid, reports Efe.
“We do not care who plays in Real Madrid, the most important thing is us, that we are capable of playing our game. I expect that Real will put on the best performance possible with the best players, but I think we are capable of winning,” Emery said at a press conference on the eve of the match.
Emery acknowledged the importance of the game for PSG, which set winning the Champions League as an objective.
The former Sevilla coach said he regretted Neymar’s absence, but it paves the way for other players to shine.
The coach also said he considered it normal that the club had launched a campaign on social media to motivate the much-needed fans ahead of the clash.

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
