Trailing 1-3 from the first leg of their Round of 16 tie against the two-time defending champions, PSG started the game with a sense of urgency. Madrid on their part were content to sit back and hit on the counter in the initial exchanges.

Zidane's men managed to keep the French champions at bay though. And they surged ahead on the night when Cristiano Ronaldo's 12th of the campaign gave Madrid a commanding 4-1 aggregate advantage - with over half an hour of play remaining.

After Marco Verratti was sent off mid-way through the second half, an onerous task for PSG became an uphill one.

Edinson Cavani pulled one back off a fortuitous rebounded Madrid clearance. But PSG were fortunate to see Madrid hit the woodwork twice, through Marco Asensio and Lucas Vazquez respectively.

Their hopes of holding on for a draw on the night were dashed when Casemiro's strike 10 minutes from time sealed a 5-2 aggregate win for the Spanish team.

Madrid would go on to win a third-straight Champions League title.
