Since Sergio Ramos raised to heaven from Kiev the 13th Champions of Real Madrid, the whites have not known again what is beyond the round of 16. They fell before him Ajax in the 18/19 season and against Manchester
City last year.
Therefore, this time, with the result of the first leg in their favor (0-1) those of Zidane have at hand the possibility of sneaking into the top eight teams in Europe and to stay alive in a competition that has always been the most desired by the club.
Premiere of Di Stéfano
All this will be decided in the Alfredo Di Stéfano, stadium in which the team has played all its matches for just under a year. And yet, despite all this time that has passed, it will be the first time that the Whites' “second home” has hosted a European first-team tie.
It will therefore be worth to leave behind the bad streak of Real Madrid in their role as a local in the last qualifying rounds. And it is that the aforementioned battles against Ajax Y City in which he lost by 1-4 and 1-2 when he played at home, it is worth highlighting the 2-2 against the Bayern in the semifinals of the 17/18 edition and 1-3 in favor of Juventus in the quarterfinals of the same year.
The PSG of Mbappé and Neymar
You have to go back to February 14, 2018 to find a white victory at home in the Champions League qualifiers. That day he won 3-1 at PSG of Mbappé and Neymar with goals of Marcelo Y Christian
Ronaldo doubly.
So, what happens this Tuesday in the Di Stefano will undoubtedly be key in the short-term future of the Real Madrid. Obviously it is worth the victory and the draw. Any loss, unless it is by a 0-1 that would send him extra time, would put him out of the Champions.
