Every day, the morning of Europe 1 returns to one of the sporting events which makes the news.
This Tuesday, Virginie Phulpin is interested in the Champions League round of 16 match between PSG and Real Madrid tonight.
According to her, it is a poster that has everything to become the new clasico.
PSG Real Madrid is tonight in the round of 16 first leg of the Champions League. Finally, this poster has everything to be a kind of Clasico
We love to put this word in all sauces, so why not a Clasico on a European scale?
A host of stars, friendships and enmities in the ranks of the players, and two clubs who hate each other a little more every day, an essential ingredient for any self-respecting Clasico.
PSG Real Madrid is as much a football match as an opportunity for each of the two clubs to show off their biscottos.
Mirror, my beautiful mirror, tell me who is the most powerful?
I speak of Clasico ironically, but Madrid will face two of their hated former rivals from Barça, Lionel Messi and Neymar.
Finally, if the Brazilian can come into play, and if the Argentinian finds his magic formula with the ball at his feet.
There are also former Real players who have joined Paris, that too, it spice up the match.
Ashraf Hakimi,
who still resents his training club for never giving him a chance, and who may want revenge.
And Sergio Ramos.
Uh, no, sorry, Ramos arrived at PSG, but only in the infirmary.
And then there is obviously, attention drum rolls: Kylian Mbappé!
As we know, tonight he will be at the center of all attention, the object of all desires.
It is he who has carried PSG alone or almost since the start of the season.
But how will he behave against his future teammates?
How are future teammates?
Frankly the question is no longer really whether he will join Real one day, but when he will, and under what conditions.

The Kylian Mbappé case also causes tensions between the leaders of the two clubs.
At PSG, we taste moderately the maneuvers of Real around the striker which have been going on for months now.
Yes, we are quite sensitive to the lack of respect sometimes shown by the big historical clubs towards the new rich.
And in Madrid, President Florentino Perez has still not digested that his counterpart Nasser Al Khelaifi loose him in the open countryside with his idea of Superleague.
He is even convinced that the president of PSG played the moles of UEFA during the first meetings.
Yes, yes, we are looking for the mole like Patrice Evra in 2010… Rivalries and tensions at all levels.
Even on the bench of the Parisian coach, Mauricio Pochettino will have his ears ringing.
He can already pack his bags if he does not win this Champions League.
And there, lurking in the shadows, there is the figure of Zinédine Zidane.
The legend of Real Madrid in the small papers of the Parisians to replace him.
During a round of 16 first leg, the game is not necessarily unbridled, because there is a return match.
But there, the poster is already salivating, and with the little extra of this atmosphere with a knife, we are sure not to be bored this evening.
