Ronaldo: Real Madrid don't fear PSG

Cristiano Ronaldo insisted he and reigning two-time Champions League winners Real Madrid do not fear Paris Saint-Germain in Europe.

Following their shock defeat to Tottenham earlier this month, Madrid face the prospect of finishing second in Group H, which would pit the defending champions against a European powerhouse.

PSG have already qualified for the knockout round with two matchdays remaining and loom as a potential opponent in the last 16, but four-time Ballon d'Or winner Ronaldo is not scared.

"I'm not afraid of PSG," Ronaldo told L'Equipe.

"We're the defending champions, two years in a row, we have to respect that.

"We would prefer to finish first in the group, but the most important thing first of all is qualification."
