Karim Benzema netted a second-half hat-trick as Real Madrid came from behind to stun Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League round of 16 second leg. Real lost the first leg 1-0 and were down once again after Kylian Mbappe handed PSG the lead. However, Benzema struck thrice in quick succession to dash PSG's hopes. Here are the key details.

How did the match pan out?

Mbappe's first-half goal had given PSG a deserved two-goal aggregate lead. They looked comfortable before Real changed the scenario after half-time. Real pressed more and a mistake from PSG keeper Gianluigi Donnarumma saw Benzema score from Vinicius Junior's assist. Luka Modric's superb pass saw Benzema level the show. The 34-year-old's low effort into the bottom right corner moments later settled the tie.
