Ramos won't play at the Bernabeu, but he will be in attendance

PSG's manager, Mauricio Pochettino, has revealed that Sergio Ramos will travel with the squad to Madrid despite being ruled out of the clash against Real. The coach also said that a spot in the lineup for the match in the last 16 of the Champions League, is available to the Argentine, Di Maria, with the Brazilian, Neymar Jr, still not 100%. 

In an interview with 'EFE' which took place at PSG's training ground in Saint-Germain en Laye, just outside of the city, Pochettino spoke about how Ramos will travel to Madrid, the fact that he is recovering from a new injury, and how the game on Wedenesday is 'decisive'.

"Sergio asked us to travel, he would like to come with us. He has played practically his whole career at Real Madrid. 17 years as captain and he won so much there. It's obvious that he would like to go back there and he asked us if he could travel with us and help out", declared the manager.

"Other players are not going to be involved (in the match). But the most important thing is to come together in such a defining moment", he said.

Pochettino takes his side to Madrid with a 1-0 aggregate score, after his three pronged attack of Kylian Mbappe, Leo Messi, and Angel Di Maria lead his team to a first leg victory.

"We've got Kylian, Leo and of course Angel, and we'll see if Ney can take part on Wednesday. Ney can produce what's required during phases when the team doesn't have the ball", he mentioned.

In terms of Wednesday, Pochettino said that he doesn't believe there is a favourite to win the tie as his team only takes "a small advantage into the second leg" and he revealed that he has prepared "a different strategy from that of three weeks ago".

"We hope that this plan will have the desired effect", he finished.
