Bradley Barcola opened the scoring with a sharp near-post strike before Khvicha Kvaratskhelia tapped in PSG’s second before halftime.
Joao Neves came close to adding another when he struck the crossbar, but his midfield partner Vitinha made no mistake, curling a low shot into the bottom corner from 18 yards just before the hour mark.

But it was ultimately a night to forget for the visitors, as PSG cruised into the next round with a statement performance.
