Paris-Saint-Germain is Knocked out from Champions League !!

Karim Benzema's hat-trick helped Real Madrid to reach the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League, beating Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) 3-1 (3-2 in two legs). By this defeat, Neymar-Messi-Mbappe has left this competition. At very early of this season PSG signed Lionel Messi to the team with the dream of winning the Champions League. Moreover, Neymar and Mbappe, one of the best football stars were already on their team. This trio (MNM) was considered to be the best attack in the world at present according to paper-pen. But the trio failed to prove themselves after more than half of the season had already passed.

PSG faced Real Madrid in the last 16 of the Champions League on Wednesday (March 9) at midnight Bangladesh time in the Santiago Bernabeu. But, they lost incredibly despite leading 2-0 at the end of the first leg and the first half of the return leg. This ensured the departure of the French giants from the most prestigious tournament in club football. Despite playing in the semifinals last year, the Parisians have to say goodbye to the last 16 this time.

Killian Mbappe played outstandingly well in both of the matches. Relying on him, PSG was dreaming to knocked out Real Madrid and reaching the quarter-finals. Besides, Neymar also played great after returning to the field after a long injury. Mbappe's two goals were his contribution. But in the last match, Karim Benzema's incredible 18-minute hat-trick forced the Parisians to leave the Champions League again.

Karim Benzema scored his first goal in the 61st minute. However, PSG's Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma has some lackings behind this. He had the ball on his feet, it was not a problem if he could give it to his teammate in time. But he was late. At one point Vinicius Jr. got the ball and passed it to Benzema. Benzema instantly shoots the ball into the net. As a result, Real-Madrid backed in the match. The Santiago Bernabeu woke up anew.

PSG, which showed dominance in the whole match, gradually started to shrink. Benzema's scored another goal again in 6 minutes. The 38-year-old Madrich brought the ball out of his half & he pushes the ball through the great pass towards Vinisious. The Brazilian youngster failed to capitalize on the opportunity to score. However, he didn't lose the ball and passed it to Madrich again. From there, the French striker scores the goal. Two minutes later, the Real Madrid captain Benzema completed an incredible hat-trick.

Such defeat of PSG has once again exposed the weakness of the team's defense. However, it was clearly understood from the beginning of the season. They have lost badly with some small teams this season. Besides, there is a lot of criticism about the PSG coach. Some changes will come soon. Hopefully this French team will return with new vigor next season.
