REAL MADRID COME BACK FROM 2-0 DOWN TO KNOCK PSG OUT OF THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE

Real Madrid booked their place in the quarter-finals of the Champions League in stunning fashion as they came from behind to beat Paris Saint-Germain 3-1 (3-2 on agg) at the Bernabeu.

Carlo Ancelotti’s side started the game rapidly, producing a number of chances which they were unable to take. PSG eventually settled into the contest and took the lead through Kylian Mbappe’s strike after 39 minutes.

Real came out strongly, once again, after the interval and were rewarded when PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma lingered on the ball before clearing it straight to Vinicius, who pulled it back for Karim Benzema to slot home after the hour mark.

Panic spread like wildfire in the PSG defence and the hosts drew level after 76 minutes.

Luka Modric danced through the midfield before picking out Vinicius, who looked set to run in on goal. The Brazilian forward returned the pass, before Modric then found Benzema with an intricate ball and the striker finished the move off via a deflection.

Real applied pressure straight from the restart and completed a mesmerising comeback just two minutes later. Marquinhos was unable to clear the ball properly and it fell to Benzema, who side-footed the ball into the net for his hat-trick.
