Real Madrid 3-1 PSG Highlights And Match Stats From Champions League Classic
Real Madrid turned on the style to knock Paris Saint-Germain out of the Champions League in dramatic fashion on Wednesday.
After losing the first leg 1-0 in Paris, Real fell 1-0 down on home soil.
PSG held a 2-0 aggregate lead thanks to two goals from Kylian Mbappe and the French side looked all but assured of a place in the quarter-finals.
But Karim Benzema had other ideas. The Real Madrid icon scored a hat-trick, with goals on 61, 76 and 78 minutes to turn the contest on its head.
PSG had been much the better team in the first leg and again looked superior in the opening hour of the second.
But the match stats at full time in Madrid suggested that Real had more than held their own over the full course of the second 90 minutes.
