Two late Real Madrid goals earned the reigning Champions League holders a 3-1 home victory over Paris St Germain in the first leg of their last-16 tie. Two late Real Madrid goals earned the reigning Champions League holders a 3-1 home victory over Paris St Germain in the first leg of their last-16 tie. Zinedine Zidane's side had fallen behind to Adrien Rabiot's opener before Cristiano Ronaldo levelled from the penalty spot prior to the break. Real started the game with real intent, pressing high up and appealing, in vain, for a penalty inside 70 seconds when Toni Kroos went down. PSG were getting some joy down the left with Neymar, but the Brazilian earned himself an early caution with a hack at Nacho.
