Real Madrid celebrate 2-1 win against PSG in changing room
Real Madrid beat Ligue 1 leaders Paris Saint-Germain 2-1 at Parc des Princes last night to book their place in the last eight.
Cristiano Ronaldo had scored twice in the home leg to put Real in a commanding 3-1 position going into the away trip in Paris.
And the Portugal striker opened the scoring in yesterday’s clash firing home a cross from Lucas Vazquez early in the second half.
Just minutes later things started to unravel for PSG when midfielder Marco Verratti was given his marching orders for a second bookable offence.

And Los Blancos stars couldn’t wait to celebrate their victory as soon as they returned to the dressing room.
Ronaldo was seen cheering as he walked around giving players and staff hugs and high fives as they basked in the moment of continuing their Champions League title defence.
Manager Zinedine Zidane was also seen making his way around the dressing room congratulating his players on the win.
