The early stages of The Champions League can be a little one-sided as minnows take on the elite.
But that certainly cannot be said of the game tonight, when PSG host Real Madrid, in what would make a worthy final.
Having seen PSG play several times this season, including a friendly against Manchester United in July, they now look ready to compete with anyone.
They have been fast-tracked to pre-eminence in France due to huge investment from the Middle East.
But, no matter how much money goes in, it still takes time for a new team to gel and find their spirit.
After several years of doing ok in The Champions League we think that PSG are ready to break through that glass ceiling and go all the way to a final.
They have pace, power and guile in their attack while the defence looks as solid as anything in Europe.
What they don’t currently have, is a Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Real Madrid legend became the highest La Liga goalscorer at the weekend and he looks better than ever at the age of 30.
If PSG can stop Real Madrid’s goal machine then they can definitely win this match as Madrid have several key injuries to deal with.
It’s almost impossible to call but we are going for a score draw or a home win.
