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."

Ronaldo And Messi Stats Shows Who's Best Of All Time

Bests of all time Victory in football's biggest tournament would play a huge role for either player's legacy, particularly in the long-term, and it looks incredibly likely that the 2018 edition will be the final attempt for both men. As a result, there was always going to keen interest in exactly how Ronaldo and Messi fare. And, well, three games in and their form is diametrically opposed. Ronaldo is in the running for the Golden Boot after scoring four goals in his opening two fixtures, including a stunning hat-trick against a hotly fancied Spain team. MESSI VS RONALDO DEBATE Meanwhile, Messi just found the back of the net in Russia only in his last outing vs Nigeria and missed a vital penalty in the 1-1 draw with Iceland. These developments led to a spike in support for Ronaldo to be considered the greatest of all time, with this summer exemplifying his brilliant form over the last few years.
