“If we look at the players and the history of these two teams,” Beckham said in a short video published by PSG, “the passion of the fans in these two cities, this meeting is a dream for any fan.”

Beckham played for both
With a past at both clubs, Beckham admitted that he’d find it hard to support just one over the other.
“I’m glad I won’t be in the stadium,” Beckham said. “It would have been great to see two teams that I played for playing each other.
“But, to be honest, I’d prefer to watch it at home in front of my TV. That way I can celebrate every goal, no matter who scores.”
Whatever the outcome, the Englishman is expecting a close-fought and thrilling contest over two legs.

Coach Mauricio Pochettino has not ruled out Neymar making an appearance during Tuesday night’s big clash against Los Blancos.
“We’ll see if it can happen,” Pochettino told the press. “That’s the idea. All the big guys want to play in the big games.
“He already knows what it’s like to arrive injured at these games and has the maturity to channel his energy and play in the best conditions when he’s available.”
PSG are 13 points clear at the top of Ligue 1, despite drawing their last two league games.
