PSG’s remarkable collapse against Real Madrid.Kylian Mbappe had seemingly secured the French side’s place in the quarter-finals of the Champions League with a first-half strike.But as has so often happened in European football’s premier club competition, Los Blancos staged a stunning comeback to break PSG hearts, though it was a comeback all of the Ligue 1 side’s making.First, Karim Benzema pressured Gianluigi Donnarumma into passing the ball straight to Vinicius, who laid the ball back to the striker to fire in.Then, Luka Modric burst through a wide-open PSG midfield before slipping in an unmarked Benzema to level the game.Straight from PSG’s kick-off after that goal, Madrid won the ball before Marquinhos sent a poor clearance directly to Benzema who completed his hat-trick with a first-time finish.Even by PSG’s standards it was an astonishing collapse, but rather than blame his players, Pochettino launched a scathing attack on Makkelie.The Argentine boss felt there was a foul in the build-up to Benzema’s opening goal, a strike Pochettino insisted “changed the game”.Should Karim Benzema's first goal have been ruled out for a foul on Gianluigi Donnarumma?

Psg after signing Messi: 2022- R16.
