With home field advantage, Real Madrid was the team that entered proactively from the beginning.
With pressing efforts, a goal came to the home team as if it were inevitable.
In the next minutes of the first half, Real Madrid was still the proactive team. They created more scoring opportunities but unfortunately did not take advantage of them successfully.
Entering the second half, PSG clearly showed their determination when they sent Neymar onto the field, but when they did not get what they needed, on the other side of the front line, Real continued to make a difference.
In the 79th minute, Benzema doubled the gap for the hosts with a positional move and a classy header.
In the 81st minute, from a mistake by Real Madrid’s defense, Mbappe easily shortened the gap to 1-2 before Sarabia equalized the score just 2 minutes later.
In the remaining minutes, both teams were determined to score more goals, but neither side was happy.
