DOHA: Real Madrid defeated Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 in a friendly tie at the Khalifa International Stadium here on Thursday with Jese netting the all-important winner for the Spanish giants in the 19th minute. A defence-splitting pass from Alvaro Morata allowed Jese to get behind the Qatar-owned PSG back four and the young striker made no mistake as he slotted the ball past Italian ‘keeper Salvatore Sirigu. The Under-21 international hogged the limelight in the match held amidst a downpour. Both sides are making use of their mid-season winter break. While Real will return to league action on Monday, Ligue 1 will resume on January 11.
