Neymar will return to visit the Santiago Bernabeu. No longer with Barcelona uniform, but with the status of Paris Saint Germain penggawa. Les Parisiens will try Real Madrid in the first leg of the Champions League last 16.

This time Neymar opportunity to become Lionel Messi - momok for Madrid - like when Blaugrana melakoni El Clasico there. Overrated? Not really.

In fact, the most expensive player in the world became a creator as well as PSG bender. Of the six matches passed in the preliminary round, Neymar has recorded 3.3 key feedback per match - According to WhoScored records. Of dribel action, 26-year-old player also dominated with an average of 6.3 - double of Kylian Mbappé who is ranked second.

No doubt, the left side of the PSG power sector. Neymar assisted Layvin Kurzawa who was diligent in assisting the attack. Three goals that have been made enough to prove how aggressive ex Monaco AS players.

Edinson Cavani's contribution - which also successfully scored 6 goals in the Champions League, and Mbappe with 4 goals - can not be ignored. Cavani is no longer the main spearhead as in previous seasons, but the horizontal movement proved effective in providing space to Neymar and Mbappe to move to the middle. Moreover, they are also accommodated by creative gamers such as Marco Verratti and Julian Draxler.

For Madrid, a clear way to beat PSG, yes, by turning off the movement Neymar. The success of Bayern revenge 3-0 defeat at the first meeting of the group phase can not be separated from their success dampen the action Neymar.

Jupp Heynckes using the basic 4-2-3-1 format, successfully maximizing Joshua Kimmich and Nicklas Sule in their third defense. While Sebastian Rudy was sent to patrol in midfield. As a result, seven times Neymar lost control of the ball and PSG took 1-3.

Well, Zinedine Zidane must learn from the success of Die Roten. Unfortunately, Algerian coach mission was hampered by the absence of Dani Carvajal due to suspension. In other words Zidane will allocate that important task to Nacho Fernandez. As a versatile defender, he has a better defensive record than Carvajal.

However, Zidane is well aware of the consequences, Nacho is no more controversial than Carvajal in the attack. The full-back ever loaned to Bayer Leverkusen earned 2.3 key passes from three matches in the Champions League - more than Marcelo, Marco Asensio, Cristiano Ronaldo though.

Well, it's hard to be denied if Ronaldo loses outrageously than Neymar in so far. New 11 goals that resulted in La Liga, lost far from Messi who has packed 20 goals. That's in the league, for the Champions League stage, Ronaldo is still a king with a nine-goal incision.

In addition, the couple from Georgina Rodriguez was also in the best condition after contributing 7 of a total of 18 goals scored by Madrid in four games in the latest La Liga.

Madrid this time can rely on Ronaldo to exploit the right side of defense PSG. The occupied sector of Dani Alves was in the spotlight for being Bayern's three goals generated by Bayern.

Alves false position placement makes Robert Lewandowski escape from the offiside trap which then culminate the first goal. While the goal cover Bayern via Corentin Tolisso resulting from counterattack. The excessive aggressiveness of the 34-year-old player did indeed impact on the poor PSG transition from attacking to defensive.

The situation is more complicated after Thiago Motta certainly absent again later. Unai Emery likely to return to lower Giovani Lo Celso natural position as attacking midfielder.

It did not have a significant effect if PSG met with a less aggressive opponent and would be a problem if Madrid became their enemy. Motta's back-four protective figure still needed to rebuke a counterattack as well as winning a midfield duel.

Although not appearing as a starter in Madrid's latest three games, Isco has the potential to take advantage of the PSG midfield slit. That is, Zidane will play a 4-3-1-2 scheme to make room for the playmaker as it seems.

Duel star-studded clubs do not always run easily. Therefore the foresight in utilizing the gap will be the key to come out as the winner in this fight.
Madrid can take advantage of a gap on the right side of defense PSG and Motta absence as a back-four protector. While Les Parisiens should increase their power through Neymar, considering the absence of Carvajal on the right side of Madrid's defense.
