UCL: PSG, Madrid Through To Round Of 16 Despite Playing 2-2 Draw

Paris St-Germain and Real Madrid are through to the Champions League round of 16 despite playing a 2-2 draw at the Santiago Bernabeu.

It was an entertaining match between the European giants as PSG came 2-0 down to secure Group A top spot after Pablo Sarabia equaliser.

Real’s place was booked shortly before kick-off after Club Bruges’ 1-1 draw with Galatasaray.

Karim Benzema put Real 2-0 up with a close-range finish and a header.

But Kylian Mbappe scored after a defensive mix-up and Pablo Sarabia fired a brilliant equaliser.

Gareth Bale, a replacement for Eden Hazard, who suffered a twisted ankle, almost won the game for Real Madrid deep into injury time but his free-kick hit the post.

The French champions will finish top of Group A as a result.
