Sid Lowe was at the Parc des Princes tonight ... and his report has landed. Off you click for the good doctor’s assessment. Thanks for reading this MBM. Nighty night!
Real keeper Thibaut Courtois, surely the man of the match despite Kylian Mbappe’s late goal, talks to BT Sport. “It was almost a very good night. Obviously Messi shoots a lot of penalties so it’s hard to guess right, but he’s missed a few on this side, so I went left and had a good save. The goal was a bit annoying. We lost the ball in midfield, then Mbappe goes away easily from two players. You have to close the angle so I went down as fast as I could to block, but the ball went in just the right space under my body. It’s a bit hard to take after such a game, but nothing is lost with 1-0, even with a draw we would have had to win at home. Now we just have to do it in 90 minutes! At home it will have to be better. We believe and we are sure we can win.”
