Madrid cannot afford errors against Paris Saint-Germain, warns Isco

Madrid cannot afford errors against Paris Saint-Germain, warns Isco

The 23-year-old is predicting a tightly-fought encounter against the French champions, but believes his side could eke out a victory on Wednesday
Isco has warned Real Madrid that upcoming Champions League opponents Paris Saint-Germain will punish them for the slightest error.
The La Liga leaders travel to Parc des Princes on Wednesday to face their Ligue 1 counterparts, with Laurent Blanc's side likewise winning both their opening group fixtures so far.
And Isco has predicted a cagey encounter between two complete teams, though he feels los Blancos have enough to edge the tie.
"PSG are a very good, strong and complete side," the midfielder told BWIN. 
"They have some great players – ones who can decide a game on their own – they’re quick and strong.
"So I’m expecting two very tough games and both of them will be decided by small details – whoever makes the slightest error will get punished.
"Having said that though, they’ll be up against a Real Madrid side who have good qualities too and who can pack a punch in attack. 
"I don’t think there will be a lot of goals, but I hope that if there are any goals, they’re all for us."
The 23-year-old has already recorded two assists in Madrid's winning start to the Champions League campaign, and will be hoping to open his account this season by netting against Blanc's domestic treble winners.
Madrid will also be able to turn to their new all-time top goalscorer Cristiano Ronaldo to find the breakthrough in Paris, with the Portuguese displacing Raul at the top of the charts in Saturday's 3-0 win against Levante.
But Isco still paid tribute to the Spanish icon, who had announced he will hang up his boots in November, saying: "Raul is a legend.
"Not only for Madrid, but for world football – for the career he has had, the courage he showed, the sacrifices he made and how he defended the Real Madrid shirt. He has enjoyed a career full of success."

Arsenal Boss Eyes Summer Clear-outs

The midfield trios' contracts are set to expire at the end of the season and it is understood the Gunners are planning for life without them, claim the  London Evening Standard . All three midfielders have been bit-part players this season with Arsene Wenger believed to be having concerns over their fitness and consistency to perform at a high level.  Rosicky, who turnt 35 last month, is expected to be sidelined until after Christmas following knee surgery and has failed to play a single minute of first-team football.  The Czech was set to leave the Gunners last summer but Arsenal invoked a clause in his previous contract to keep him at the Emirates for a further 12 months.  By leaving Arsenal, this will allow Rosicky to finish his career with his first club Sparta Prague - which he is open to.  The same can be said for Flamini as there are those who believe his best days are behind him too, with the poor performance in the Capital One Cup exit...

Mourinho Punishment Too Much - Pulis

Mourinho And Pulis West Bromwich Albion head coach Tony Pulis has questioned who will benefit from the £50,000 fine that has been handed to Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho. After his seven-minute outburst in the aftermath of his side's 3-1 defeat to Southampton, Mourinho has been fined the five-figure sum by the Football Association, as well as been given a suspended one-match stadium ban. However, Pulis has described the amount as "extraordinary", and called for greater transparency regarding where the money will be used. The 57-year-old told reporters: "I think we need to have a meeting to find out what is going on or isn't going on. A fine of £50,000 is an extraordinary amount of money. I have been fined a few times by the FA for stepping out of line, but my argument is where does that money go? "Does it go to charity? Does it go to the hundreds and hundreds of people who will jump on the back of the Eurostar? Where does that m...
