The first half of the game was very close between both teams. Real Madrid had a sense of urgency to find their needed goals, whilst PSG’s aim was to try and control the match, score a goal and keep an important clean sheet. Both teams had various chances to open the scoresheet, but it was PSG that got the first goal of the game in the 39th minute when French superstar Kylian Mbappe managed to score a tidy strike.
The second half was all Real Madrid. They looked hungrier and more motivated to find goals and create chances. PSG looked tired out but were still able to create many chances due to their talent up top with players like Neymar Jr, Messi and Mbappe. Madrid scored their much awaited first goal of the tie in the 61st minute with a clinical finish. The Spanish team and specifically Karim Benzema then went on a crazy 20 minute run where the Frenchman scored another two goals in the 76th and 78th minute to send PSG out of the Champions League.
