Unbeaten in all competitions, La Liga leaders Real Madrid need to stay on form against a dangerous PSG.
Madrid are coming off an impressive 3-1 win over Las Palmas, where Isco and Cristiano Ronaldo both found the net early, before Jese Rodriguez put the final nail in Las Palmas’ coffin right before halftime.

PSG travel to the legendary Bernabeu also undefeated in all competitions this season.
The Ligue 1 leaders are coming off a 1-nil away win over Rennes, with Angel Di Maria scoring in the 75th minute for PSG earn another three points, placing them 10 points above second-place Olympique Lyonnias on the table.
They will be without Javier Pastore, who is ill, and Marquinhos, who has a shoulder injury. However Lauernt Blanc’s side will be boosted by the return of Brazilian defender David Luiz, who has recovered from a knee injury with saw him miss out on PSG’s past four fixtures.
