Real Madrid vs PSG was electric. Two of the richest soccer clubs in the world faced each other in the most expected clash in the Champions League round of sixteen. And it was absolutely high voltage.
Of course, soccer fans around the planet were also itching for the Cristiano Ronaldo vs Neymar duel.
With Real Madrid having only the Champions League to redeem a rather catastrophic season in local competitions, it looked as if PSG had a chance of burying 'Los Blancos' hopes.
Neymar would be tasked to lead the offense.
On the other side, Cristiano Ronaldo would assume the leadership for 'Los Merengues'.
When PSG took the lead in the first half after a simply wonderful back-heel assist by Neymar, it seemed as if the Brazilian star would outplay his Portuguese counterpart.
However, Ronaldo scored via penalty kick and from that moment the tables definitely turned.

Besides becoming the first player to ever score one hundred Champions League goals for one team, Ronaldo scored a brace in the 82nd minute and gave Madrid the lead.
Later, Marcelo scored a third goal for 'Los Blancos', setting the definite score at 3-1.
Neymar failed to make a difference for his team and therefore he has been scorned by the merciless tribunal of the internet.
Other than his brilliant assists, one of Neymar's highlights in the game was a ruthless tackle on Nacho.

Neymar, you can't clown around in Ligue 1 games and then go missing when PSG need you most as a leader in the #ChampionsLeague.
It's one of the other. #RMAPSG— Ryan Bailey (@RyanJayBailey) 14 de febrero de 2018

You think Neymar activates his Madrid clause in June or after the World Cup?

What will be funny is if we win CL and meanwhile Neymar left to win it with a team who ain’t shit and is getting knocked out again

Do you think Neymar will be able to redeem himself on March 6 wen PSG host Real Madrid in the second leg?
