Real Madrid secured a 2-1 win in 2nd leg of round 16 over PSG to dump the Ligue 1 side out of the Champions League on Tuesday, winning 5-2 on aggregate.
Zinedine Zidane's side had a 3-1 lead from the first leg at the Bernabeu, and after a goalless first half, it took Cristiano Ronaldo (51) just six minutes of the second period to put Real Madrid further ahead.
PSG went down to 10 men 15 minutes later as Marco Verratti (66) was shown a second yellow card, but they equalised on the night not long after as Edinson Cavani (71) diverted the ball home with his leg.
But with 10 minutes of normal time to play, Casemiro (80) sealed Real's path to the quarter-finals as his powerful effort from the edge of the box found the back of the net via a deflection.

Man of the match: Cristiano Ronaldo.
It was a cagey start to the game in Paris but Real Madrid had the first chances in the 19th minute. Ronaldo and Lucas Vazquez nearly produced a good one-two, but the latter's ball back was smothered by the PSG defence before Karim Benzema skied the rebound over the bar. Sergio Ramos then went close from the corner, but saw his effort superbly pushed away by Alphonse Areola.
Real Madrid went close again 19 minutes later but were denied by the PSG goalkeeper. An unmarked Benzema was set away down the left before cutting into the box, but his eventual shot was superbly turned behind by Areola's outstretched leg.
But PSG were also testing Real Madrid goalkeeper Keylor Navas in the final minutes of the first half. Verratti picked out Angel Di Maria down the right of the box before the Argentine attempted to find the waiting Cavani, but his cross was collected down low by Navas, before he denied Kylian Mbappe at the near post minutes later by pushing his shot behind the post.

Liverpool progressed into the quarter-finals of the Champions League with the minimum of fuss after a goalless second-leg draw with Porto secured a 5-0 aggregate win.
With the damage done in the first leg, Sadio Mane hit the post for Liverpool in a forgettable first half that was devoid of goalmouth action.
Substitute Danny Ings went closest to scoring a winner when he saw a late header tipped over the bar by Iker Casillas.

Man of the match: James Milner
While the 90 minutes will not live long in the memory, Liverpool had license to take their foot off the pedal slightly after their scintillating first-leg display and they are into the quarter-finals for the first time since 2008/09.
Liverpool now turn their attentions to the draw for the next round on March 16, as well as their Premier League clash against Manchester United on Saturday
Cristiano Ronaldo is the man who literally rises to the occasion:
As the clock was reaching the 51-minute mark in Real Madrid's game against Paris Saint-Germain, Cristiano Ronaldo gave his team the lead by adding another incredible header to his collection.
Once again the Portuguese rose to the occasion, literally.
He connected with Lucas Vazquez's cross and found the back of the French team's net. The top scorer in the history of the Champions League has time and again proven himself as a great header of the ball.
His goal against Manchester United in 2013 stands out, as that night he managed to jump almost over Partice Evra to net an equaliser.
Two years before at the Estadio Mestalla he had headed the Copa del Rey final's winning goal to beat Pinto and Pep Guardiola's Barcelona, after flying over Adriano.
The 33-year-old's heading skills were also brought to spotlight after his goal against Wales in Euros 2016, on his national team's way to the trophy.
During his last couple of years, the 33-year-old has come to understand that he won't be able to make the same number of appearances as he had done in previous campaigns.
As a result, he has been saving his best version for crucial games, especially the Champions League ones, being the top scorer in the history of the competition, as well as the top scorer in the last five editions of the tournament.
Champions League all-time top scorers:
Cristiano Ronaldo: 117 goals
Lionel Messi: 98
Raul González: 71
Ruud van Nistelrooy: 56
Karim Benzema: 53
Thierry Henry: 50
Zlatan Ibrahimovic: 48
Andriy Shevchenko: 48
Filippo Inzaghi: 46
Robert Lewandowski: 45
