WATCH: Mbappe gives PSG lead in second leg

THAT ONE WILL COUNT!Kylian Mbappe broke Real Madrid's resolve in the final moments of the first leg and now, with half-time looming in the reverse fixture, he has fired Paris Saint-Germain into the lead once more.The France superstar with the world at his feet is released on the counter, swept down the left wing after Neymar wrestles a loose delivery downfield. He pounces, moves inside and curls a strike towards goal that nestles itself low at the near-post.

GOAL: Madrid 0-1 PSG

And with that, another day of Champions League action comes to a close.Manchester City made in plain sailing, and it looked, for all the world, that Paris Saint-Germain would join them.Mbappe, mastered by Benzema. Turns out the old dogs still know the old tricks too.Thank you and good bye.

Knockout

Oh, they are going to remember this one for a long time in Madrid. PSG, triumphant with half-an-hour to go, spearheaded by two of their most bitter rivals in ex-Barcelona duo Messi and Neymar - vanquished in a blaze of Benzema glory.For Kylian Mbappe, the chance to likely finish his career in the capital of his home country with the biggest club prize Europe has to offer has gone. He will be a league champion - but not a Champions League champion - at Parc des Princes.The agony is clear. This one - and the manner of their exit, self-inflicted as much as it was orchestrated by Madrid's second-half turnaround - will sting for a long time.

Heartbreak beat

This is incredible, absolutely incredible. Paris Saint-Germain have been on the wrong end of some legendary Champions League results before, that goes without saying - but the way they have lost their heads like chickens has been really something.Their all-star pack up front, the dream trio of aces led by Kylian Mbappe, Lionel Messi and Neymar look absolutely stunned. How they've let this one slip from a two-goal lead on aggregate to looking at a last-16 exit is going to be the stuff of legend.The clock ticks down. These are likely the final minutes in Europe for Mbappe in a PSG shirt. A moment of history looms - and he's going to be on the wrong end of it.

PSG scrambling for last-gasp goal

WHAT ON EARTH IS HAPPENING?!Karim Benzema has absolutely turned this game on its head - and now it is Real Madrid who not only lead on the night but across the two legs too!No Kylian Mbappe? No problem for Los Blancos! They have absolutely stunned Paris Saint-Germain here! Their striker sails down the middle straight from the kick-off, meets a cut-back and smashes home!David Alaba is celebrating with a chair, for some reason. It's madness, absolute madness.

GOAL: Madrid 3-1 PSG

THE COMEBACK IS COMPLETE!Karim Benzema's name will be up in lights if Real Madrid turn this one around from where they were at the break, that's for sure. Los Blancos pull ahead on the night - and pull level on aggregate!Luka Modric feeds him superbly through the defence and he steers a masterful finish beyond Gianluigi Donnarumma, whose first-half brilliance is seriously under siege now.PSG look absolutely blindsided.

GOAL: Madrid 2-1 PSG

We must break away from our match-up in Madrid for a moment to sound the klaxon - Scott Carson is on for Manchester City! We repeat, Scott Carson is on for Manchester City!The veteran shotstopper and all-round favourite of Pep Guardiola gets a rare run-out for the Citizens, replacing Ederson in-between the posts.There's still nothing to show for either side in this one.

Carson on for City

REAL MADRID ARE RIGHT BACK IN THIS ONE!Karim Benzema won't get many more finishes quite as simple as that, and it as an absolute hero-to-zero howler for Gianluigi Donnarumma!He wastes too much time with the ball in his six-yard area and the Frenchman forces him off it. A square ball is flicked back for the forward despite a last-gasp lunge to clear and he clips it home at close-range.

GOAL: Madrid 1-1 PSG

It could have been a Kylian Mbappe hat-trick tonight, were it not for the linesman!It is the right call again - the PSG forward is offside - but the neat little flick he uses to round the final body and flick home is just delightful.A shame that it must be chalked off.

DISALLOWED GOAL: Madrid 0-1 PSG

Well, what can Real Madrid do here? Carlo Ancelotti's hosts need two goals - and only two, since the away goal rule is no longer in effect - to force a second wind in this match.But can they find it? That is the bigger question. And what will PSG have in the tank at the other end of the pitch too?We're back underway in Spain, as we are in England, where Manchester City have made a few changes to get their men some extra minutes in a game with Sporting that seems to now have the air of a slightly contested kickabout.

Milestone man

There go the half-time whistles - and the name of one man is on everybody's lips.It is - who else?! - Kylian Mbappe who has cut this clutch of Champions League action open, with the Paris Saint-Germain star firing his side into a 1-0 lead - and two-goal aggregate advantage - over Real Madrid after the opening act.It's the only goal of the day so far, with Manchester City yet to fire up like they did in Portugal against Sporting CP - but with a five-goal cushion large enough that they'll be happy to coast.

HT: Madrid 0-1 PSG

Oh, what a moment that could have been!Arguably against the run of play, Kylian Mbappe opens up Real Madrid at the back after he seizes on a cut-back with a low drill.Alas, the linesman's flag was up and VAR quickly confirms PSG were offside. Still, the prince that was promised almost undid his new kingdom there.

Throwback

Holy save, Batman!There's no dark knight to the rescue here but Gianluigi Donnarumma, who keeps PSG level in this game with an absolute blinder of a stop.The Italy goalkeeper - picked ahead of Keylor Navas - is arguably the best goalkeeper at international level in the world right now and not much of a slouch for his club either, as he shows with a superb fingertip stop to deny Karim Benzema's beauty of a strike.

Haven't a clue?

Well, there's something already to keep an eye on. Leandro Paredes has been booked for PSG - and that means that, if they qualify, he will be suspended for the quarter-final.It's not been a super start for the visitors, but Lionel Messi does send Kylian Mbappe downfield now, with the Frenchman's final square pass picked off too easily.

Paredes booked for suspension

Real Madrid struggled to get in behind a brick wall of a backline in Paris - but they've having no such problems here right now.They've got pace down the wings and Vinicius Junior in particular is causing some serious headaches for a PSG defence already looking a little stretched.Half the world away in Manchester, Sporting are rocking too - but that is less of a surprise.

Los Blancos build early pressure

Well, are we in for one cracker - or could we get two?We're about to find out. It's live from Madrid and Manchester - and it's the UEFA Champions League!Here we go!

Get the party started

Yes, let's talk about the man of the moment a little more, shall we?Kylian Mbappe has won Ligue 1. He has won the World Cup. And - like Lionel Messi, his team-mate - he will likely win the Champions League one day too.But in order to have a shot at it, he'll have to see off the club he looks set to call home.

Three dream?

Real Madrid remain the undisputed historical kings of Europe, and as recently as 2018, their hold on the Champions League remained fearsome. But they've been missing for three finals on the trot and despite their hopes in La Liga, they enter this match far from the favourites.Against them stands Paris Saint-Germain, spearheaded by two men at opposite ends of their careers and with a Brazilian sandwiched in-between. Kylian Mbappe looks all but set to be the new hero of Santiago Bernabeu next term - but alongside Los Blancos' most famous enermy Lionel Messi, he'll hope to send them packing today.Throw in Neymar, and it is an absolutely fearsome side that Mauricio Pochettino has up front. In the Spanish capital, will that be enough?

Only one can stand

...then it could well be Manchester City. Pep Guardiola's men have made no secret that, with every domestic honour in their grasp, the Champions League is next.But having choked at the final hurdle last year against Chelsea, it's been a bitter pill to swallow - and one that has driven them on this term.Bar a collapse of legendary proportions, their 5-0 first leg win in Portugal means they will be rolling through to join Liverpool - legitimate rivals on several fronts now and arguably in better form - and Bayern. But which other heavyweight will join them too?

Finally City's time to shine?

But before we dive into the nitty-gritty of today's two dynamite clashes - well, one dynamite clash and a foregone conclusion, if we are honest - let's have a quick reminder who is already in the hat for the quarter-finals, yes?Robert Lewandowski nabbed a rapid-fire hat-trick as Bayern Munich routed Red Bull Salzburg 7-1 for an 8-2 aggregate win, while Inter beat Liverpool on their own turf 1-0 - but without enough to overturn a first leg loss, as the Reds went through 2-1 on aggregate.That's two of the last three European champions already in the mix. It's going to take a tough side to topple either of them - but if there is any who can do it...<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">4 - Liverpool have reached the UEFA Champions League quarter-final stage for the fourth time in the last five seasons, failing only in 2019-20 in this time (eliminated in Round of 16).
