Jese Rodriguez scored the only goal of an entertaining mid-season friendly in Doha to earn Real Madrid a 1-0 victory over Paris Saint-Germain.
The two teams were meeting in the Qatari capital to keep up fitness levels ahead of their return to competitive action after their respective winter breaks.
Rodriguez's 19th-minute strike into the bottom corner from Asier Illarramendi's through-pass gave Los Blancos the lead and although they came closest to adding to the scores by twice hitting the woodwork, PSG had plenty of chances of their own.
Edinson Cavani could have had a first-half brace, but was thwarted by Diego Lopez when the Madrid keeper rushed off his line to foil the Uruguayan, who sent an ambitious volley narrowly wide of the post following Zlatan Ibrahimovic's chipped pass.
Blaise Matuidi nearly equalised with a curling effort from a tight angle and Ezequiel Lavezzi wasted a chance from the edge of the box as the French side squandered several first-half chances before Madrid hit the frame of the goal either side of the interval.
Jese's shot from Cristiano Ronaldo's pass cannoned back off the post, and then a skilful solo effort from Karim Benzema, who controlled a cross on his chest and then saw a shot on the half-volley kept out by the crossbar.
PSG's wastefulness continued in a second half which failed to match the quality of the first period due to the number of substitutions, as Thiago Motta headed over at the near post and Lucas Moura did the same in the final stages.
