REAL MADRID V PSG - BENZEMA TURNS GAME ON ITS HEAD

PSG had it in the bag but capitulated and Benzema's 16-minute hat-trick settled turned a desperate situation into a victory. Thanks for following the match with us.

From 35 yards it was a fine effort but just over the bar landing on the roof of the net. It looked like Courtois had covered too.

So close to a two-goal lead as Modric fires from outside the box inches wide.

Kimpembe could have got a second yellow for that foul.

This is desperate from PSG. Their front three have hardly had a touch in the last ten minutes.

He left his leg in on Vinicius Jr. PSG are looking a rabble.

Danilo is replaced by Di Maria.

Unbelievable. A ball was played through for Vinicius almost straight from the kick off. The ball was taken off him by Marquinhos straight to Benzema and his first time finish beat Donnarumma.

Benzema scores again. Vinicius was played through by Modric and though the PSG defenders came back to block him, he got the ball back across to Modric and he slide a marvellous ball through to Benzema whose effort deflected slightly off Marquinhos and past Donnarumma.

Benzema tried to play over to Rodrygo but Kimpembe's block fell straight to Vinicius and he blazed over the bar. He had to do better.

But Militao beats Marquinhos to the header and puts it out of play.

Paredes comes off for Gueye. Unsurprising given the Argentine midfielder is on a yellow card.

A smart move with Carvajal on a yellow card.

Almost a half overhead kick from 90 degrees to goal which forces a good stop from Donnarummam but a foul was given for a push by Militao.

Rodrygo put in a fine cross which Benzema got up to meet but heads wide of the target.

Neymar fouls Camavinga 35 yards from goal to roars from the home crowd.

What an error. Donnarumma dallying in possession and Benzema forced a bad pass which went straight to Vinicius Jr who pulls back for the French striker who slotted home.

He takes out Benzema after the PSG defender pushes the ball past him on the wing. Hard to blame him really. No worse task for a defender.

Rodrygo and Camavinga come on. The Kroos move is a little strange given how well he has played, maybe more of a fitness thing as he was a doubt coming into the game.

No other player would have got there but Mbappe did and was about to unleash another shot but Alaba got across to make a crucial tackle.
