Paris Saint-Germain go into the second leg of their Champions League round of 16 tie against Real Madrid carrying a 1-0 lead from the first leg. After crucial encounter at the Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday, the French giants released an official statement confirming both Sergio Ramos and Ander Herrera’s absence for the match.
Ramos and Herrera’s absence won’t be a big loss for PSG, however, as both players also didn’t feature in the first leg at the Parc des Princes stadium. Herrera was part of the team but wasn’t introduced into the game by Mauricio Pochettino. Sergio Ramos, on the other hand, wasn’t even part of the team after suffering an injury just days before the first leg.

“Sergio asked to make the trip. He wanted to do it. He is a player who has spent almost his entire career at Real Madrid, who has won a lot there. As with any unavailable player, the important thing is to be all together, to be in solidarity for such a decisive moment,” the Argentine tactician said.
