After romping to victory over the French giants during their meeting at Bernabeu, Real Madrid went into the second leg with a 3-1 lead on aggregate.
And after scoring twice in the first leg at home, striker Cristiano Ronaldo was on the scoresheet once again during the clash at Parc des Princes.
Ronaldo fired home a bullet header thanks to a pin-point cross from Lucas Vazquez.
But it was the vision from Asensio which set up the goal.

The 22-year-old turned quickly while under pressure deep in PSG’s half.
He nutmegged Dani Alves which put Vasquez free to deliver an impressive cross to Ronaldo who duly fired home.
Edinson Cavani pulled one back for the hosts but after Casemiro’s 80th minute deflected strike, it wasn’t enough to stop PSG crashing out of the competition.

“We started very well, but we deserved the win,” manager Zinedine Zidane said.
“It was a tough match, they wanted to get through but they were up against a strong team and that perhaps made the difference.
“I must praise the players, they are the ones giving everything on the pitch.
“This is a tough crowd to come to, but the atmosphere is fantastic. We were focused and deserved to get through.”
