Unai Emery has never been able to win at the Santiago Bernabéu. The Basque couch has visited Real Madrid's stadium 11 times: once with Almería, five times with Valencia, four times with Sevilla and once with Paris Saint-Germain. In those games, Emery has lost 10 times with his only minor success coming with a 0-0 draw in charge of Valencia in the 2011/2012 season.

PSG took the lead against Real Madrid

This evening in the Champions League it looked like it was time for the curse to be broken with Rabiot scoring the opening goal, however Real Madrid came back and took victory in the first leg of their Champions League last 16 tie. Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice, becaming the first player to score 100 Champions League goals with a club, and Marcelo scored the third to give 'Los Blancos' a healthy advantage in the tie.
