95'FT: PSG 1-0 Real Madrid! For all but 30 seconds of 94 long minutes, that was a near-perfect away display from Madrid, keeping Paris and their attacking talents at bay. Granted, they rode their luck, but they were undone by a moment of magic at the last from Mbappe, and that will now change the outlook for the second leg, which will be even tougher given that Casemiro and Mendy will be absent, too.

94'GOAL for PSG! Paris have the breakthrough with seconds to spare! Neymar, who had looked desperate to make an impact as he waited to come on, produces a moment of brilliance, backheeling the ball into Mbappé's path on the left. The man who has come so close to scoring tonight still has plenty to do but he makes the two defenders ahead of him look static.

83'Rodrygo and Kimpembe are cautioned by the referee.
-
81'Real Madrid sub: Hazard replaces Vini Jr. Valverde on for Modric.
-
80'It’s very much a back seven and a detached front three for Madrid now. The defence and midfield are just focused on keeping Paris out, while the forward line will look to spring a surprise. It’s not pretty but it’s effective so far.
-
79'Mbappe enters the penalty area on the right, performs a couple of stepovers and attempts to rattle in a shot. Alaba is equal to it, blocking the effort behind.
-
77'Mbappe cuts inside on the left of the penalty area following Neymar's corner from the opposite flank, firing a shot through a crowd of defenders and beyond the diving Courtois' far post.
-
77'Corner for hosts conceded by Mendy.
-
75'Terrific technique from Messi, as ever, but the accuracy is not quite there, curling the free-kick around the wall and just wide of Courtois' right-hand post.
-
74'Alaba concedes a free-kick for a foul on Neymar. This is in a promising central position just outside the penalty area.
Substitution
-
72'PSG sub: Di Maria is replaced by Neymar.
Substitution
-
72'RM double sub: Lucas Vazquez and Rodrygo on for Carvajal and Asension.
-
72'Mbappe is adjudged to be in an offside position.
-
69'Messi is penalised for handball.
-
68'This is in a useful position near the penalty area to the left of centre. Messi angles a diagonal pass inside the penalty area on the right, and Madrid eventually clear.
-
68'Alaba is penalised for a foul on Paredes.
-
65'Danilo concedes a free-kick for a foul on Modric.
-
64'Foul by Di Maria on Vini Jr.
-
63'Danilo is shown a yellow card for a bad foul on Vini Jr.
-
62'Courtois saves! The goalkeeper dives to his left, correctly guessing the trajectory of Messi's low shot and beating the ball away for a corner on Paris's right. What drama!
-
60'Carvajal concedes a penalty for a foul on Mbappe.
Yellow card
-
57'Mendy is booked for a bad foul on Danilo. Mendy into the book now, and that’s another player Madrid will be without in the second leg.
-
56'Paris patiently measure their angles and ping passes around outside the penalty area. Mbappé curls in a strike from near the edge of the left-hand side of the penalty area, requiring a straightforward stop from Courtois, who gathers the ball.
-
54'Better from Madrid! It would take some strike to beat Donnarumma from this distance, but Kroos thunders in an effort from a considerable distance out, slightly to the left of centre. The goalkeeper watches the ball whistle over his crossbar.
-
53'Mbappe finds Messi in a central position just outside the penalty area. His first-time shot is accurate but not troubling to Courtois, who claims in the centre of his goal.
-
53'Di Maria concedes a free-kick for a foul on Carvajal.
-
52'Brilliant stop from Courtois. That’s the first time Madrid have let Mbappé get a sniff and the big Belgian was more than up to the task. You suspect that won’t be the last time he’s called upon if Madrid are to get a result tonight.
Yellow card
-
51'Eder Militao is shown a yellow card for a foul on Mbappe.
-
50'What a superb save from Courtois!! Nice chance from Mbappe again! Huge opportunity after the break for Mbappé who sends in an instant shot on target. Courtois gets down and makes an outstanding save!
-
48'Foul by Militao on Messi.
-
47'Paris, attacking from left to right, start us off this time. Can they make the breakthrough their fans will feel they deserve after that commanding first-half performance, or will Madrid change the momentum of the game?
-
46'We're back underway in Paris! All to be decided in the second half...
-
45'HT: PSG 0-0 Real Madrid! For all their threat, Paris have only really troubled Courtois once, when Mbappe could not connect cleanly with Messi’s pass to find him in front of goal, allowing the goalkeeper to thwart him. Madrid may not face many tougher halves than that this season, so Ancelotti may be as satisfied as he is relieved not to have seen his side concede under full-throttle pressure from Paris at times. They will hope the second half is less nervy.
-
45'Casemiro almost scored! Great cross from Kroos from the corner and Casemiro managed to finish easily because he was quite alone. However, his header went to the right of Donnarumma.
-
45'Corner awarded to RM, conceded by Achraf.
-
45'1 minute added on!
-
41'Madrid need to keep their discipline and remain calm under this persistent Paris pressure.
Yellow card
-
40'Verratti is cautioned by Orsato for a bad foul on Casemiro.
Yellow card
-
37'Casemiro is shown a yellow card.
-
35'Mbappe recovers the ball inside his own penalty area on the left and advances at breakneck speed towards the Madrid half, then chooses to calm the game down.
-
34'Paredes concedes a free-kick for a foul on Kroos.
-
30'Real Madrid cannot profit from the free-kick near the penalty area on their left.
-
29'Good free kick for Madrid on the left flank! Foul by Di Maria on Vini Jr.
-
27'Madrid are not taking any risks by playing the ball out from the back – they’re simply going long to get the ball away from the danger zone. The issue is that they are just giving the ball back to Paris by doing that.
-
24'Di Maria concedes a free-kick for a foul on Casemiro.
-
22'Foul by Modric on Verratti.
-
20'This is a strange situation for Madrid. They enjoy the lion’s share of possession in most Liga games, as well as in Europe, but right now you sense they are really just trying to ride out the storm and push through to the other side of this wave of Parisian pressure.
-
20'Di Maria earns a corner for PSG.
-
18'Madrid give Paris possession in clearing their lines, Messi moving deep to collect possession just inside the opposition half and turning instinctively to loft a pass inside the penalty area on the left. Mbappé is lurking beyond Carvajal, reaching the delivery and rolling a low effort towards the near post that the advancing Courtois alertly diverts behind. Another warning for Madrid.
-
16'Foul by Verrati on Luka Modric in the defensive half.
-
14'Long possession from PSG and Real Madrid were left waiting at the back until Mbappe again won a corner.
-
13'Corner awarded to PSG, conceded by Modric.
-
10'Real Madrid are taking no risks when it comes to Mbappe on this left side. They are double-teaming him every time he touches the ball as they look to crowd him out of space.
-
8'Mbappe gets a corner for PSG.
-
6'Foul by Mendy on Di Maria.
-
5'First dangerous chance of the match! A good run and cross from Mbappe found Di Maria in the centre of the box, but his shot went just over.
-
3'The match started at a frenetic pace. Both teams are trying to keep possession of the ball, although RM seem to have more of it.
-
1'Real Madrid get us going from left to right in the white!! PSG in their usual colours!

PRVWThis match will be quite emotional for more than one player. Especially for some of the local players like Di Maria, Keylor Navas, Achraf or the injured Ramos. All of them wore the white shirt and made history with Real Madrid. In addition, the eternal rival, Messi and one who could have been a Real Madrid player in his day, Neymar, join them. But the spotlight will undoubtedly be on Mbappe, who will be Florentino Perez's next star.

PRVWBenzema has indeed been passed fit for tonight’s encounter and the rest of the side is as expected, with Mendy also returning at left-back. Those two in the starting XI are a huge boost for Madrid, given what they are up against. Of course, there is always the risk that Mendy and Benzema will be a little ring rusty – but that’s a gamble Ancelotti has to take. Madrid are a different side with the French duo in it.

PRVWWithout a doubt, PSG have one of the best squads in Europe and the world. They made some big signings this summer and it seems to have paid off so far, although they were knocked out of the Coupe de France last month. However, Real Madrid are the kings of Europe and 'Los Blancos' are aiming for their 14th Champions League title this year.
