Paris St. Germain thought they were safe until the 60th minute, when Karim Benzema came on and a hat-trick ended France’s renewed dreams of winning the Champions League. The Monegasque radio station ‘RMC’ writes about one “PSG-Fiasko” and hits the nail on the head.

With Lionel Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappé in attack, Paris clearly outperformed Real Madrid for 150 minutes. However, avoidable mistakes brought the royals back into the race for the quarter-final ticket. Of “Donnarumma’s Disastrous Night” speaks the ‘L’Équipe’. The goalkeeper had initiated the 1:1 equalization and the subsequent turnaround through carelessness.
Legendary catch-up
“Beaten by the King”, sums up the French sports newspaper. This refers to Benzema, who turned the game almost single-handedly and also passed Real legend Raúl in the top league goalscorers in the club’s history. According to ‘Le Parisien’, the 34-year-old made one “Nightmare of Paris”.
In Spain, of course, the emotional situation is very different. “Madrid is another world”, lets the ‘as’ flex its muscles. ‘Marca’ saw one “another legendary catch-up” and mocks PSG with its well-known slogan “Here is Paris” (German: This is Paris). This is what it says on the cover: „This is Madrid!!!“ (This is Madrid). There is nothing to add.
