Karim Benzema’s sensational second-half treble sent Real Madrid through to the quarter-finals of the Champions League at the expense of Paris St Germain.

The 2020 runners-up looked set for a place in the last eight at half-time with Kylian Mbappe on target again having scored the only goal at Parc des Princes last month.

Fellow Frenchman Benzema stole the show though with a hat-trick after the break and his final two goals were separated by just 106 seconds in a 3-1 win that left Mauricio Pochettino’s men stunned with the pressure now ramped up on the former Tottenham boss.

34 mins: Disallowed goal! Nuno Mendes makes a run down the left wing as the ball is chipped over to him. He keeps it alive and brings the ball into the left side of the box before slipping it back to Mbappe. Mbappe drills a first time shot at goal where Courtois gets a hand to it but can’t stop it from crossing the line.

The celebrations start but the offside flag goes up and a VAR check show Mendes offside in the build up.

30 mins: Chance! Messi brings the ball up the pitch and shimmies around Kroos. He passes it to Neymar and continues his run into the box, Neymar slides him the ball and he collects it at the byline before dinking it over Courtois and just failing to score from the narrow angle!

27 mins: Marquinhos is way too casual in possession as the ball comes to him in his own box. He attempts to back heel it to Hakimi but doesn’t spot the rum from David Alaba who sweeps in from the wing and gets to the ball. He squares it but can’t pick out a teammates and Verratti bundles it clear for the visitors.

Real’s captain whips a great effort at goal and curls his shot towards the far top corner only for Donnarumma to leap across and tip it wide of the post.

21 mins: Save! It’s another low save from Thibaut Courtois. PSG pass it sharply across Real’s final third with some slick one-touch moves from Messi and Verratti. The ball comes up to Neymar who shifts inside and scuffs a left-footed effort across goal but it comes too close to the Real goalkeeper and he keeps it out.

18 mins: PSG are slowly building their way into the game. Verratti feeds the ball into the box for Neymar who cuts onto his right foot and shoots but there are plenty of white shirts in front of him and Carvajal makes the block. The rebound comes out to Paredes who lets fly from range and smokes his effort over the crossbar.

15 mins: Save! PSG are a real threat on the counter. They’re so quick. Kylian Mbappe gets away from the Real defence and just has Thibaut Courtois to beat from a tight angle on the left. He hits his shot straight at the Real goalkeeper though and Courtois clings on to the ball.

Another warning shot for the hosts.
