Karim Benzema scored a quickfire hat-trick as Real Madrid fought back to beat Paris St Germain 3-1 on Wednesday and move into the Champions League quarter-finals 3-2 on aggregate.
Paris Saint-Germain coach Mauricio Pochettino said the decision not to give a foul against Karim Benzema for Real Madrid's first goal "changed everything" in his team's Champions League implosion on Wednesday. The French giants were cruising at 2-0 up on aggregate when Benzema scored the first goal of his hat-trick just after the hour mark at the Santiago Bernabeu, going on to lose 3-1 on the night and 3-2 in the last-16 tie. But Pochettino was left angered that PSG were not given a free-kick for Benzema's challenge on Gianluigi Donnarumma after the visiting goalkeeper dwelled on the ball.
MADRID : Karim Benzema was Real Madrid's hero as he scored a hat-trick to send his team into the Champions League quarter-finals with a 3-1 win over Paris St Germain on Wednesday.

La exhibición de Karim Benzema en el Santiago Bernabéu no pasó desapercibida ni siquiera para el eterno rival.

But an error by goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma opened the doors for the 13-time champions as Benzema restored parity on the night to give Carlo Ancelotti's team a glimmer of hope in the 61st minute.
