Real Madrid and Atalanta progress while Juventus and Monaco comebacks not enough

Title holders Paris Saint-Germain are through to the last 16 of the Champions League but made hard work of 10-man Monaco at the Parc des Princes tonight.

Having won the first leg 3-2 in the principality, it looked a routine assignment for PSG, who are seven places and 20 points above Monaco in the Ligue 1 table.

But Luis Enrique’s side were devoid of inspiration for much of the night and Monaco will rue the fact they did not capitalise.

The outstanding Maghnes Akliouche put the visitors ahead on the stoke of half-time, firing home after Mamadou Coulibaly had cushioned the ball into his path.

Sébastien Pocognoli’s men were excellent value for their lead but the match – and the tie – changed direction when Coulibaly was shown two yellow cards in the space of four minutes for fouls on Nuno Mendes and Achraf Hakimi, respectively.

PSG drew level on the night two minutes later when Desire Doue’s run and cross enabled Marquinhos to squeeze the ball home.

It was 2-1 six minutes later, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia on hand to tap in after Philipp Kohn had failed to hold Hakimi’s shot.

With a two-goal advantage in the tie, it looked over but Monaco continued to press, Simon Adingra’s cross converted by fellow substitute Jordan Teze in the first minute of stoppage time.

Monaco had one more chance – Wout Faes coming within inches of sending the encounter to extra-time after latching on to Lamine Camara’s hanging free-kick.

Brave Juventus edged out in Turin

Galatasaray overcame a spirited Juventus comeback to secure their place in the next round.

Leading 5-2 from the first leg in Istanbul, the Turkish side seemed in control even after a Manuel Locatelli penalty reduced the arrears. Lloyd Kelly’s sending off three minutes into the second half appeared to have ended the hosts’ challenge but further strikes from Federico Gatti and Weston McKennie sent the tie to extra-time.

Galatasaray used the extra period to finally make their man advantage count. Victor Osimhen put them back ahead on aggregate and Baris Alper Yilmaz’s goal late on ended an absorbing contest.
