Nasser Al-Khelaifi: 'Real Madrid tie will be magic'

Paris Saint-Germain chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi says that his club will relish the task of taking on Real Madrid in the last-16 stage of the Champions League.

Paris Saint-Germain chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi has said that his club will relish the task of taking on Real Madrid in the last-16 stage of the Champions League.

Madrid have won the Champions League in each of the last two seasons, but will take on a PSG side who are being tipped by many to lift the European Cup this term.

Al-Khelaifi has said that the PSG supporters will be able to enjoy some "magic" as the two European heavyweights prepare to lock horns in the knockout round of the Champions League for the first time.

"We have big respect for Real Madrid. It will be two great matches. The fans will have magic football moments away and at the Parc des Princes. As I always say, we need to be ready to play all the teams and we will be ready," he told reporters.

PSG have failed to make it past the quarter-final stage of the Champions League since the arrival of the club's mega-rich Qatari owners.
