MADRID: Real Madrid will face French champions Paris Saint-Germain in a friendly in Doha on January 2, the Spanish club confirmed yesterday.

It will be the second time the clubs have met in barely six months after Real emerged 1-0 victors from a pre-season friendly between the two in Gothenburg back in July.

PSG have strong links with the Qatari capital as they are owned by Qatar Sports Investments.

Both sides will be on their mid-season winter break at the time, with Real returning to league action the following weekend, whilst Ligue 1 doesn’t return until January 11.afp
