The comeback was complete, and Madrid celebrated wildly on the pitch as PSG was left stunned. The victory not only sent Madrid through to the last eight of the Champions League but also dealt a major blow to PSG’s hopes of winning the competition. Vinicius Junior was named Man of the Match for his outstanding performance, while Benzema’s class and experience were key in Madrid’s victory. Manager Carlo Ancelotti hailed his team’s character and praised their ability to overcome adversity. “This was a very important victory because it shows that we never give up,” Ancelotti said. “We had a difficult first half, but we showed our quality and character in the second half. This team has a lot of heart.” The result has set up a fascinating quarterfinal clash between Madrid and Chelsea, who progressed after beating Borussia Dortmund 2-0 on the night.
