    Real Madrid 0-0 Alaves

    Real Madrid get a needless corner conceded by Nahuel Talaglia heading out of play under no pressure.

    Marco Asensio floats it in but Eder Militao heads over from eight yards out.

    GOAL - Nantes 1-0 PSGpublished at 20:08 Greenwich Mean Time 19 February 2022

    Randal Kolo Muani

    A ninth goal of the campaign for Randal Kolo Muani and the 23-year-old slips this away with the confidence of a man in form.

    A counter-attack sees him played in from the left side of the area and with his first touch he clips the ball with the outside of his right foot past Keylor Navas.

    A beautiful finish.

    Real Madrid 0-0 Alaves

    Real Madrid break in behind for the first time, the move comes down the right-hand side but Marco Asensio's cross is poor and unable to get past the first man.

    Karim Benzema was around the area sniffing an opportunity.

    Thanks Sham. I wasn't choosing to watch basketball, it was what was being fed down my line. Anyway, Texas Tech picked up a gritty win.

    The good news is there's already been a goal in Nantes...

    Well, I think it's under way in Nantes.

    Luke watching on BT Sport has some basketball on instead of the Ligue 1 game.

    Nantes might be 10th in the table but Ligue 1 is so compact that they are just three points off a European spot.

    While they have conceded just 28 goals - one fewer than fourth-placed Strasbourg - they have found goals hard to come by, with Randal Kolo Muani scoring eight of their 31 to date.

    It is fascinating to see Kylian Mbappe doesn't want to take any decision before the second leg with Real Madrid.

    I believe he will wait until the end of this season. He can go wherever he wants as a free agent.

    PSG are really hoping that if they win this tie and qualify, they can say they we are a better team than Real Madrid. They have also said 'if you stay we are trying to sign Paul Pogba, trying to sign players to make this team better, so why not stay one more year?'.

    We know Mbappe's family is talking to the club and his dream is to play for Real Madrid.

    Kylian Mbappe says he has not made a decision on his future after being linked with a move to Real Madrid.

    Mbappe is out of contract in the summer, but says: I'm going to give it my all for the remainder of the season."

    He told Movistar TV: "I play for one of the best teams in the world. I haven't decided on my future."

    PSG have won their last two games 1-0 thanks to 90th minute winners by Kylian Mbappe.

    Having struck at the death against Reims last weekend, Mbappe popped up in the dying moments to secure his side a dramatic win over Real Madrid in the Champions League in midweek.

    France World Cup winner Mbappe, 23, has been linked with a move to Real in the summer.

    It's 10th versus first in Ligue 1.

    Runaway leaders Paris St-Germain will go 16 POINTS clear at the top if they win but Nantes will not be overawed at facing Mauricio Pochettino's side.

    They beat PSG in the capital as recently as March 2021 while Nantes defeated them 3-2 at home in April 2019.
