THURSDAY'S BIG STORIES It Is Happening Again Ad/> Oh, lads. Oh, lads. For a project so singularly obsessed with the Champions League, for a club so defined by its pursuit of the biggest prize of them all, it really is remarkable just how bad PSG are at high-stakes knockout football.
Hat-trick hero Karim Benzema dedicated a record-breaking night to the Real Madrid fans after they stunned Paris St Germain with a second-half comeback to secure a 3-2 win over the Ligue 1 side on aggregate.
Karim Benzema said Real Madrid showed they are still "alive" by completing a thrilling comeback to defeat Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday and reach the Champions League quarter-finals. Madrid trailed 2-0 on aggregate when Kylian Mbappe put PSG in front at the Santiago Bernabeu but Benzema scored a stunning second-half hat-trick, including two goals in two minutes, to send his team through. "Every game is a final now for us in the Champions League and La Liga but today we showed that Real Madrid is alive," Benzema said afterwards. "We know PSG like to have the ball. We started well, we tried to score and in the second half we won the match with our mental strength," Benzema added.

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.
