The PSG boss has had a torrid time against Spain's big two and his previous form against the pair does not augur well ahead of Tuesday's big match

Paris Saint-Germain fans will be looking for reasons to be optimistic ahead of their meeting with Real Madrid on Tuesday. However, Unai Emery's record against Los Blancos and also versus Barcelona is unlikely to provide much cause for cheer.

When the draw for the Champions League last 16 paired the two teams, many believed PSG were favorites to advance to the last eight. After all, Real's form in La Liga had been indifferent, while the Ligue 1 leaders were scoring for fun.

But Los Blancos tend to save their best for the continental competition and the 12-time winners found a way to win the first match at the Santiago Bernabeu – even though PSG took the lead and dominated for much of the night.
