– Eduardo Camavinga and Federico Valverde may start in their place.
– The absence of the vastly experienced Kroos, who helped Germany win the World Cup in 2014, would come as a blow to Real as they seek to put in an improved performance compared to the first leg.
– Speaking about the 32-year-old’s potential involvement and his own hopes for the tie, Real boss Carlo Ancelotti said: “If I think he is at 100% he will play. If he is at 95%, he won’t.”
– “We were not able to play how we wanted [in the first leg] and what we suffered from the most was the pressure from PSG.
– “We are convinced that the best Real Madrid can compete with the best PSG. We saw the best version of PSG in Paris. I wish to see the best version of Real Madrid on Wednesday.”
