Real Madrid did it again. The club with most Champions League on their showcases completed another magic night for all the fans around the world. On the other hand, the project of PSG is a disaster one more year. Despite of bring some star players (Hakimi, Sergio Ramos, Donnarumma or Wignaldum and one of the best players in the world (Leo Messi) they couldn´t fight against the nobility of Real Madrid.
The match was really beautiful. In the game at “Parc des Princes” Madrid lost 1-0 and in Bernabeu they had to score at least two goals. Also, the fans of Real Madrid did an amazing placard and the atmosphere outside the stadium was intimidating.
The first half of the game was really good by Paris Saint-Germain. The team of Mauricio Pochettino tried to comeback with some fast players like Mbappe or Hakimi. In one of this plays the goal of Kylian would arrive in minute 39´ with a definition of world class player.

The post game was really funny for the local team. However, PSG was really angry with the performance of their players (Messi or Neymar) and with some controversial situations during the match. The president of the French club, Nasser Al-Khelaifi went down changing rooms to understand the decisions of referee in the first goal of Karim. According to some sources of Madrid, the sheikh was angry and he lost patience.
The Spain team comes out very reinforced from this match. However, it´s a hard blow for PSG. Their expectations every year are winning most possible tittles. But, as every year, they fall eliminated.
