Ronaldo does it again as Real Madrid dump PSG out of Europe

Cristiano Ronaldo and Casemiro got the objectives for Real Madrid as the holders won 2-1 away to a Paris Saint-Germain side missing Neymar to secure their place in the Champions League quarter-finals on Tuesday. 

Ronaldo had scored twice - including his 100th objective for Real in the opposition - as they won 3-1 in the principal leg in Spain a month ago, and his header right on time in the second half at the Parc des Princes successfully finished the French club's expectations of advancing. 

Edinson Cavani evened out on the night for PSG, yet simply after they had Marco Verratti sent off, and Casemiro's late objective secured an at last far reaching 5-2 total triumph for Zinedine Zidane's side. 

PSG never looked like turning the tie around without the harmed Neymar, and it was a frightfully level route for them to leave the opposition. 

As they limp out, Real's fantasy of turning into the primary group in over 40 years to win three progressive European Cups stays alive. 

A year after their terrific crumple against Barcelona in the last 16, when they were mortified 6-1 away in the arrival after a staggering 4-0 win at home, PSG had would have liked to create an essential rebound themselves this time. 

However, shorn of the world's most costly player, who is back in Brazil recovering from a foot task, they attempted to make shots, and the night will be recalled the same amount of for the idiocy of an area of their supporters. 

Flares were lit as a group on a few events toward one side of the ground, once notwithstanding prompting a short stoppage in play, and PSG will confront discipline from UEFA accordingly. 

- Di Maria flops - 

Without Neymar, this was Angel Di Maria's once in a lifetime opportunity to sparkle after he was left on the seat for the total of the main leg, yet nothing fell off for the Argentine against his previous side, his execution emblematic of a more extensive disquietude in the home positions. 

They had just made Real goalkeeper Keylor Navas work once in the primary half, from Kylian Mbappe's shot in the 43rd moment. 

Conversely, Alphonse Areola had kept the home side in the diversion with two fine spares to deny Sergio Ramos and Karim Benzema before the interim. 

That simply postponed the unavoidable. Having approached with a header minutes sooner, Ronaldo softened the gridlock up the 51st moment, heading in a Lucas Vazquez cross for his third objective in the tie. 

The objective had originated from a blunder by Dani Alves at first, and it totally punctured PSG and the air. 

The tie had gotten away them before Verratti was sent off halfway during that time half, getting a moment yellow card for disagree. 

Substitute Javier Pastore's header avoided into the net off Cavani in the 71st moment to level the scores on the night, however more poor safeguarding enabled Real to make it 2-1 with 10 minutes left. 

Unfit to clear their lines in their own particular region, PSG saw Casemiro's shot go in by means of a Marquinhos diversion. 

With Marco Asensio and Isco both hitting the post in the second half no doubt, the guests more than merited their win on the night, and additionally in the tie. 

That rubbed more salt into the injuries for PSG, who had not lost any of their past 51 home amusements in all rivalries, a run backpedaling two years to before the beginning of Unai Emery's rule as mentor. 

This thrashing is probably going to rush the finish of his opportunity in control.
