Paris St Germain advanced to the Champions League last 16 in commanding fashion, triumphing 7-0 at home against fellow French team Brest, sealing a remarkable 10-0 aggregate victory in their knockout phase playoff second leg.
Starting the match with confidence following their 3-0 win in the first leg, PSG demonstrated full control, adjusting their game strategically. This match will go down in history as PSG’s most dominant victory in European competitions, while it marks an unfortunate milestone for Brest, who faced the heaviest defeat recorded by a French side in the Champions League.
Bradley Barcola opened the scoring for PSG in the 20th minute, followed shortly by Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who found the net six minutes before half-time. The second half saw Vitinha, Desire Doue, Nuno Mendes, Goncalo Ramos, and Senny Mayulu each contribute to the scoreline, highlighting PSG’s incredible depth as they became the first team to have seven different scorers in a single Champions League match.
Looking ahead, PSG is set to face either Liverpool or Barcelona in the last 16 and is motivated to finally capture the Champions League title, having come close in recent years, such as their narrow defeat to Bayern Munich in the 2020 final.
In conjunction with PSG’s triumph, the successful progression of teams in the tournament underscores the competitive nature and excitement that the Champions League brings to football fans, inspiring hope for thrilling matches in the next stages. As PSG builds on this win, their pursuit of European glory remains bright, and fans can look forward to more high-caliber performances ahead.
