However, PSG still have a 12-point lead over them at the top of the Ligue 1 table.
This is a massive opportunity for PSG to send the record winners of the UEFA Champions League crashing out as they visit Madrid.
With all the potential head-to-head battles set to take place, a tantalizingly poised clash awaits us.
In the first leg, Mbappé scored deep in extra time to win 1-0 at home and put Madrid under pressure.
However, Madrid have been in phenomenal touch at home and hope to continue their good run of form and keep their journey alive.
It’s all to play for in the 2nd leg with the winner needing 2 goals or more to go through.

Prediction: Real Madrid 3-1 PSG (Real Madrid win on Aggregate)
Real Madrid have been in phenomenal touch back home and should use home advantage to fire on all cylinders.
However, PSG on their travels haven’t been at their best and look a shadow of themselves at times despite the talent on show.
With Madrid at home, we expect them to go through but not without the visitors making them toil.
Los Blancos has too much fire power and quality for the Parisians especially in the in-form striking options of Benzema, Junior and midfield experience.
Players to watch out for: Modric, Benzema, Mbappé and Verratti.
