'Scary' Benzema one of the most underrated players in the world, says PSG boss Tuchel

Paris Saint-Germain head coach Thomas Tuchel has claimed Real Madrid forward Karim Benzema is one of the most underrated players in the world, pointing to the striker's varied skillset as what sets him apart from other recognised centre-forwards.

PSG host the Spanish side on Wednesday with strong ambitions - the Ligue 1 powerhouse having made it their mission in recent years to lift the Champions League trophy, as evidenced in their signing of world-class stars such as Neymar and Kylian Mbappe.

Money does not guarantee success, however, with PSG having failed to make it past the quarter-finals since Qatar Sports Investments took over the club back in 2011.
