Uefa Champions League UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE - 2019/20 SEASON MATCH PRESS KITS Estadio Santiago Bernabéu - Madrid Tuesday 26 November 2019 21.00CET (21.00 local time) Real Madrid CF Group A - Matchday 5 Paris Saint-Germain Last updated 24/11/2019 21:43CET UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE OFFICIAL SPONSORS Match background 2 Legend 6 1 Real Madrid CF - Paris Saint-Germain Tuesday 26 November 2019 - 21.00CET (21.00 local time) Match press kit Estadio Santiago Bernabéu, Madrid Match background Successive victories have revived Real Madrid's UEFA Champions League challenge and they will now be looking to turn the tables on already-qualified Paris Saint-Germain, who subjected them to a heavy loss on Matchday 1 and will clinch first place in Group A if they avoid defeat at the Santiago Bernabéu. • Former Madrid player Ángel Di María led the Paris charge in the reverse fixture, scoring twice in the first half before Thomas Meunier crowned a dominant display with an added-time third. That was the first of Paris's four wins in the section, in which they are still to concede a goal, with a 1-0 home victory against Club Brugge last time out securing qualification; they have 12 points, five more than second-placed Madrid, meaning a draw will be enough to take them into the round of 16 as group winners. • Madrid took only one point from their first two Group A games, but two contrasting victories against Galatasaray on Matchdays 3 and 4 have given them a five-point advantage over third-placed Club Brugge. Zinédine Zidane's side will be through if they beat Paris, or if Club Brugge fail to win at Galatasaray in the other Matchday 5 fixture. Previous meetings • Four of the teams' previous nine matches have ended in a Real Madrid win – including three in a row before Matchday 1 – while Paris have three victories. Paris have now, however, outscored their opponents, hitting 12 goals to Madrid's 11. • Before this season, the teams last crossed paths in the round of 16 of Madrid's victorious 2017/18 UEFA Champions League campaign, the Spanish giants winning 3-1 in Spain with Marcelo on the scoresheet and 2-1 in Paris, Edinson Cavani scoring for the home side and Casemiro finding the net for Madrid. • Madrid's 2015/16 UEFA Champions League triumph had also featured a win against Paris, a 1-0 group stage victory at the Santiago Bernabéu in which Nacho got the only goal. The game at the Parc des Princes had finished goalless. • Paris have lost three of their four away games against Madrid, the exception their UEFA Cup Winners' Cup quarter- final first leg in March 1994 when George Weah scored the only goal at the Bernabéu. That was their last win against the Spanish side before this season; the Matchday 1 success was their first in six matches against Madrid (D2 L3). Form guide Real Madrid • Having been beaten in Paris, Madrid had to come from two goals down to salvage a 2-2 draw at home to Club Brugge in their second fixture. They then won 1-0 away to Galatasaray and 6-0 at home against the Turkish club, their biggest home win in the UEFA Champions League since December 2015. • The Spanish giants have nevertheless lost three of their last seven UEFA Champions League matches – conceding three or more goals in each of those defeats, and 13 in that seven-game sequence. • Last season Madrid finished first in their section ahead of Roma, Viktoria Plzeň and CSKA Moskva, picking up 12 points from their six matches. A team then coached by Santiago Solari won 2-1 at Ajax in the round of 16 first leg, but bowed out 5-3 on aggregate after a 4-1 home defeat. • Last season was the first since 2009/10 in which Madrid had failed to reach the semi-finals or better. This is the 13- time champions' 50th European Cup campaign, more than any other side. • The Matchday 4 dismantling of Galatasaray was only Madrid's third win in their last eight European Bernabéu fixtures (D2 L3) – although they have been beaten in only four of their last 48 UEFA Champions League home matches (W37). • Rodrygo's hat-trick against Galatasaray was the 12th scored by a Real Madrid player in the competition, one fewer than record holders Barcelona. He is only the fifth Madrid player to achieve the feat – after Raúl González, Ronaldo, Cristiano Ronaldo (7) and Karim Benzema (2) – and, at 18 years 301 days, the second-youngest UEFA Champions League hat-trick scorer after Raúl, who was aged 18 years 113 days when he scored his solitary treble against Ferencváros in 1995/96. • Defeat in Paris on Matchday 1 ended Madrid's 11-match unbeaten run against French opposition (W8 D3), going back to a 1-0 loss at Lyon in the 2009/10 round of 16 first leg (1-2 aggregate). • The Merengues had conceded only two goals in seven games against French sides before shipping three at Paris in September; they scored 15 goals themselves in that seven-game period (W6 D1). • That 1994 defeat by Paris is the Merengues' only reverse in their 15 matches at home to Ligue 1 visitors (W11 D3). They have won their last five home matches, scoring 15 goals and conceding one. • Third in Spain in 2018/19, this is Madrid's 24th UEFA Champions League campaign – a joint record along with 2 Real Madrid CF - Paris Saint-Germain Tuesday 26 November 2019 - 21.00CET (21.00 local time) Match press kit Estadio Santiago Bernabéu, Madrid Barcelona. They have qualified for the knockout rounds in all of their 23 seasons, also a competition best. Paris • After beating Madrid, Mauro Icardi's first goal for Paris earned a 1-0 success at Galatasaray in the French club's 100th UEFA Champions League game. They then beat Club Brugge away (5-0) and home (1-0), the third time Paris have won all of their first four games in a UEFA Champions League group after 1994/95 – when they won all six – and 2017/18. • Paris and Bayern München (Group B) are the only sides with maximum points after four matches; the French side are the only club yet to concede a goal. No team has ever kept six clean sheets in a UEFA Champions League group stage. • Ligue 1 champions for the sixth time in seven years in 2018/19, and eighth time overall, this is the French side's eighth successive UEFA Champions League campaign. • Semi-finalists in 1995, Paris have been knocked out in the round of 16 in the last three seasons – having been eliminated in the quarter-finals in the four previous campaigns. • In 2018/19, Paris finished first in a section including eventual champions Liverpool, Napoli and Crvena zvezda, and looked set to reach the quarter-finals after a 2-0 first-leg victory at Manchester United in the round of 16, only to bow out on away goals following a 3-1 home defeat. • Paris picked up four points on their travels in Group C last season, losing at Liverpool (2-3) and drawing at Napoli (1- 1) before a 4-1 victory at Crvena zvezda on Matchday 6. They also won 2-0 at Manchester United in the round of 16 first leg, the wins at Galatasaray and Club Brugge making it six victories in their last ten away UEFA Champions League fixtures (D1 L3) and four in a row. • Paris have won eight of their last ten UEFA Champions League matches (L2) and have now scored in 28 consecutive games in the competition. • Paris have won only two of their last ten matches against Spanish clubs, home and away (D1 L7). • Their last game in Spain was that 3-1 loss at Madrid in February 2018; that made it five successive defeats away to Liga clubs, with three goals scored and 15 conceded. Links and trivia • Madrid coach Zidane faced Paris four times as a player for Bordeaux and Juventus (W2 D1 L1). • Thomas Tuchel was Borussia Dortmund coach for their 2-2 draws home and away against Madrid in the 2016/17 group stage. • Keylor Navas was in goal for Real Madrid's three successive UEFA Champions League victories between 2016 and 2018; he made 162 appearances for the Merengues between 2014 and joining Paris this summer, winning the Liga title in 2016/17, two UEFA Super Cups (2014, 2017) and four FIFA Club World Cups (2014, 2016, 2017, 2018). • Alphonse Areola made 75 Ligue 1 appearances for Paris between 2013 and 2019, before joining Madrid on loan this summer. He played in both legs of the 2017/18 UEFA Champions League round of 16 tie, and won three Ligue 1 titles, two French Cups and two French League Cups. He spent 2015/16 on loan at Villarreal, making 32 Liga appearances including a 1-0 home win against Madrid on 13 December 2015. • Di María made 124 Liga appearances for Madrid between 2010 and 2015, scoring 22 goals, and was named man of the match as the Merengues lifted their tenth European title in 2014 with a 4-1 victory over neighbours Atlético Madrid. • Pablo Sarabia was a Real Madrid youth and B team player between 2004 and 2011, making his only first-team appearance as a second-half substitute in a 4-0 UEFA Champions League group win against Auxerre in December 2010. • Ferland Mendy was a youth player at Paris between 2004 and 2012. • James Rodríguez scored Porto's winner in a 1-0 defeat of Paris in the 2012/13 UEFA Champions League group stage.

  • The Gffn 100 2018: Ten to Watch
    GFFN 100 2018 THE GFFN 100: AN INTRODUCTION Welcome to another edition of the Get French Football News 100. Published at the end of ev- ery year by GFFN, the guide you are reading is as detailed and comprehensive a set of player profiles as one is likely to find, especially in English. Some of these players are well-known, even to the casual fan, and though they have been the subjects of countless profiles, we hope that you can gain a bit more depth in knowledge of their stories. This is especially true with the likes of Neymar and his Paris Saint-Germain team-mate Kylian Mbappé. In 2018, neither was ever far from the limelight in a year in which France won the World Cup, thanks in large part to the teen- age sensation. Neymar may have garnered the odd headline for less positive reasons, but both remain as compelling off the pitch as they do on it. It is thus no surprise to see Mbappé top the rankings again; it does not take much objectivity to realise his immense talent and potential, but the present document is much more than a narra- tive driven by celebrity. We have watched the matches that do not generate headlines, seen the teams that are rarely on television, especially internationally, and artfully blended statistical anal- ysis with old-fashioned scouting to create what we feel is a definitive guide to the professionals currently plying their trade in France. If some rankings seem high, or low, read the profiles before making a snap decision as to our choices; this is a meritocracy.

  • 2019/2020 Ligue 1 Season Guide
    2019/2020 LIGUE 1 SEASON GUIDE Even with the usual mass exodus of talent from Ligue 1 this summer, and the will he-won’t he Neymar situation, there remains plenty of reason for optimism over the upcoming campaign. Paris Saint-Germain have for once bought like a club interested in building a team rather than a collection of superstars,bringing in a mix of players who may not catch the eye to the level that past signings have but who may end up being the catalyst for the side to achieve success in Europe (and yes, likely win the league at a canter). Beyond the capital, though, there are other reasons for optimism, as Monaco have addressed their needs in an intelligent fashion in adding the likes of Benjamin Lecomte, Ruben Aguilar and making Gelson Martins present. Marseille have finally signed a striker in Argentina’s Dario Benedetto; the former Boca Juniors man may not be the instant success that Mario Balotelli was, but he’s a player whose cognizance of the club’s history and passion fan base should make him a firm favourite at the Velodrome sooner than later. The two southern clubs will be firmly in the mix for the Champions League alongside yon,L who have done well to replace the departed pair of Tanguy N’Dombélé and Ferland Mendy with Yous- souf Koné and Thiago Mendes. The Brazilian midfielder Jean Lucas and the defender Joachim Andersen have also arrived, meaning Les Gones could be a better side than last year’s edition, driven by new manager Sylvinho.
