PARIS, Feb 20, (V7N) – Real Madrid stormed past Manchester City to reach the Champions League last 16 on Wednesday, while Paris Saint-Germain crushed Brest 7-0 to seal their spot in the next round.

Kylian Mbappé was the star of the night, netting a stunning hat-trick as Madrid completed a commanding 6-3 aggregate victory over City at the Santiago Bernabéu.

Madrid took control early, with Mbappé striking in the 4th minute after a perfectly timed lob over Ederson. The French forward then finished off a slick team move before completing his hat-trick with a precise left-footed strike from the edge of the area.

City, who were without Erling Haaland in the starting XI, managed a late consolation goal through Nico González, but Pep Guardiola admitted his team was second-best.

“The best team won,” Guardiola conceded. “It’s been our worst year. For many reasons, we lost that consistency.”

Madrid now awaits either Atlético Madrid or Bayer Leverkusen in the last 16, but they will be without Jude Bellingham for the first leg after he picked up a yellow card.

PSG’s Record Rout

PSG delivered a historic 7-0 demolition of Brest at the Parc des Princes, completing a staggering 10-0 aggregate triumph. Seven different players scored, including Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Bradley Barcola, Vitinha, Desire Doué, Nuno Mendes, Gonçalo Ramos, and Senny Mayulu.

It was PSG’s biggest-ever win in European competition. They have now scored 21 goals in their last five Champions League matches.

“We are showing that winning everything is possible,” Kvaratskhelia said. PSG will now face either Liverpool or Barcelona in a blockbuster last-16 showdown.

PSV Eindhoven stunned Juventus 4-3 on aggregate after extra time, with Ryan Flamingo scoring the decisive goal in the 98th minute.

Borussia Dortmund eased past Sporting Lisbon with a 3-0 aggregate win, setting up a clash against either Aston Villa or Lille.

With the last-16 draw approaching, Europe's giants are gearing up for an intense knockout stage.
