World's Best Player, Cristiano Ronaldo proved once again he is the best when it comes to Champions League Football, scoring a powerful second-half header as Real Madrid cruised into the Champions league quaterfinals with a 2-1 win on Tuesday.
Trailing 3-1 from the first leg, PSG who were without injured Neymar, crumbled defensively and offered little going forward. There were also fireworks constantly been let off by a section of fans behind one goal.
Edinson Cavani's close-range goal gave PSG a lifeline with 20 minutes left. But with midfielder Marco Verratti already sent off, scoring two more to force extra time was beyond a lackluster PSG side.
Instead, midfielder Casemiro's deflected shot looped past stranded goalkeeper Alphonse Areola in the 80th to make it 5-2 on aggregate.
Real Madrid are seeking to win the UEFA Champions League for a third time in a roll, A feat which has never been achieved by any team in the history of UCL Football.
In another UCL encounter, Liverpool played out a goaless stalemate at home to Porto but they are through to the quaterfinals having beaten Porto 5 nil in Portugal.
