By SL InternationalA Karim Benzema hat-trick inspired a sensational Real Madrid comeback as they defeated Paris Saint-Germain 3-1 in the second leg to progress to the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League.
The opposition goalkeeper was then called into action. Luka Modric ran at the PSG defence to the edge of the box and the ball came the way of Karim Benzema, who curled a sublime towards the far post corner but Donnarumma made a superb fingertip stop at full stretch. Real equalised in the 76th minute as Benzema grabbed his brace. Modric showed his class as he threaded a ball through the eye of the needle to release Benzema, who produced a superb finish past Donnaruma.
Riyad Mahrez was replaced in the starting lineup from the first leg by Bernardo Silva. Meanwhile, 19-year-old right-back CJ Egan-Riley came in for the suspended Kyle Walker. Meanwhile, Pedro Porro started down the right for Sporting against his parent club. Guardiola's men finally managed to get in behind five minutes before half-time when a first-time ball from Phil Foden released Sterling clear on goal and the England international tried to chip goalkeeper Adan, who read his intentions and easily caught the ball.
