Real Madrid wins: 5

Unsurprisingly, the Champions League has been the stage for the biggest and most important encounters between PSG and Real Madrid.

Unfortunately for the Parisians though, Los Blancos are often the team who prevail, as they did in the most recent clash in that competition in the last 16 in 2022, despite trailing 2-0 at half time of the second leg, following Kylian Mbappe goals in both legs.

Karim Benzema plundered a second-half hat trick to turn the tie on its head though, on a night to forget for goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, as the eventual champions progressed to the quarter-finals after a special night at the Bernabeu.

At the same stage of the 2017-18 campaign, the two went head-to-head as well, but there was much less drama on that occasion, as Real comfortably advanced 5-2 on aggregate, winning both legs thanks to an inspired Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored three goals across the tie.

It was back in 2014-15 when the two faced off in the UCL for the first time, and it was in a group that both teams comfortably advanced from, but Nacho Fernandez’s solitary goal in a win at the Bernabeu saw Real Madrid seal top spot over PSG.

The two were drawn together in the same group again five years later, and that saw PSG register their first Champions League win over Real, as former Madrista Angel di Maria scored twice in a 3-0 win at the Parc des Princes, and by drawing 2-2 at the Bernabeu, the Parisians also ensured top spot.

During the summer of 2025, the two met in the newly-expanded Club World Cup too, and PSG again enjoyed a routine success over Los Blancos, who were under the stewardship of new manager Xabi Alonso, but lost 4-0 to the Parisians at the semi-final stage, being blown away in the opening quarter, finding themselves 3-0 down.

The 1990s also saw the two clubs face one another in the UEFA Cup and the Cup Winners’ Cup, with their quarter-final tie in the former in 1993 going down as one of the greatest in the competition’s history.

Real led 3-1 after the first leg thanks to goals from Emilio Butragueno, Ivan Zamorano and Michel, but they were stunned by a remarkable PSG comeback in Paris, with the French side winning 4-1 in a dramatic second leg.

David Ginola levelled the tie on aggregate after 81 minutes, before Valdo thought he had won it for PSG six minutes later, putting them 3-0 up on the night, but Zamorano in the first minute of added time halted those celebrations, before Antoine Kombouare’s 94th-minute strike did eventually settle the tie in a famous night at the Parc des Princes.

The two met again a year later, this time in the Cup Winners Cup, and once again, PSG came out on top, winning 1-0 at the Bernabeu thanks to George Weah’s strike, before holding onto their advantage at home, drawing 1-1 and advancing to the semi-finals.
