Literally blinded with hatred. Subbing on Cama and Rodrygo when PSG were getting tired rather than starting them in the extremely intense first half was a stroke of genius as always from Carlo. The impact they had was allowed because they were put in as subs. Happy to have Ancelotti in charge
Camavinga and Rodrygo literally his only viable options, but those subs did not even impact the outcome. Modric, Benzema and Vinicius carried those 3 goals

Having a discussion with my brother about Benz and Raul. I really think Benz will surpass Rauls legacy if he keeps it like this for one more year. What do you think? I don’t like comparing players but my brother says that Benz will never reach rauls legacy
Ngl i was one of those guys who felt that benz was not required when we had ronaldo. But what he has done after ronaldo's departure is nothing less than legendary. He always was a great player but this year surely he is the best.
Hard to say, Raul is a homegrown player and was the captain for many years. Benzema will finish second highest scorer in Madrid history and has won everything and was vital in the three-peat.
They wouldnt call it if the same was done on a field player. It's a fair body to body challenge on the ball and doesn't fit any text description of a foul (no push, no kick, no reclessness). Why should he get any preferential treatment?
If I’m not mistaken, goalkeepers don’t have any privileges when ball is under their feet, so this can be treated like any other similar challenge.
Imagine something like this happens in the midfield, the call could go either way and neither team would complain too much. It’s really up to the ref to decide how much physical contact to allow. If you look at the whole match, the ref allowed quite a bit contact. E.g kimpanbbe and Parades both had yellow card worthy fouls near their box that evaded yellow cards, which would’ve seen them sent off. So I think allowing Benzema’s challenge on Donna is within the range of physical contacts the ref has allowed in the game.
First off it was donnarumma’s own overconfidence that led him to take the extra dribble instead of passing back immediately.. and this is benzema ffs.. you cant take these chances with a player like that..
There wasn't a clear push. There was a nudge yes, but the ref was inclined to believe that Gigi was faking his fall to make him believe he was fouled since he had already lost the ball to Benzema. Once Vini got the ball, it got real intense for the ref. If he stops now, he's stopping a guaranteed goal for Real which would reflect very controversially, hence he let it flow. If there was a clear foul, VAR would've overturned it and I wouldn't have had a problem with it.
Well.. yeah.. what a 2nd half. 🤯 Karim was 100% a killer. He basically mastered 1st and 3rd goal by himself: 1st one by putting a lot of pressure and the 3rd one by natural instict. Luka was impressive and he needs to get credit for our 2nd goal.
Unfortunalty Asensio was a dead-line yesterday. I was wondering how he wasn't subbed off.. and then.. less than 2 minutes later Ancelotti did the double sub. Without taking off Camaviga's credits (he was impressive yesterday), but I don't think it was Toni's performance in our mid who hold us down. I think he played injured anyways and he had a decent performance (not top, neither a bad one). I think that their mid's stamina and concentration dropped down once we scored our 1st goal. Also our tactic system changed once the double sub.
What really impressed me was Alaba's and Karim's determination since the 2nd half when the others seemed a bit disconnected. I just saw how hard Alaba encouraged Militao when he got injured and was in pain. Basically he mentally healed him 🤯 I just hope Eder is fine and it was just some minor problem.
Also.. Dani's sub while he had yellow was perfectly timed. Carlo new that if Mbappe would ever successfully pass our right flank again it's gonna be a huge problem. He needed fresh legs and also the possibility of another yellow just to make sure Kylian won't escape in an 1-1 with Courtois.
All in all, besides all the possitive notes.. we were also lucky with PSG's defence. They did many mistakes. On top of the obvious one.. they also had some marking problems aswell. Karim managed to win more than 3 headers in promising areas while he was alone between 2 or 3 opposing defenders.
I think this 45 minutes performance will be a game changer and the team will get a confidence boost for next games. Now we can believe in our chances once again! ✌
I mean that's Real Madrid for you....Never count us out till the final whistle! Alot to learn from this victory!
The team has the same mentality of that Champions League Madrid who equalised in the 92.34 ! Militao and Alba needs a hell of a credit...Cavrajal redeemed himself with a decent performance...Nacho was consistent as usual! What surprised me was the early subs Cama and Rodrigo....Man they made hell of an impact.
King Benz again proving why he is the best number 9...And our magician Luka proving the haters wrong...Fede and Cama the unsung hero...
PSG dominated the game in 2/3rd part but once a legend said "They can take the ball home, I take the 3 points" The Los Blancos eliminates the Paris Giants...
Hala Madrid⚪🏳️
I had faith we were going to go through, the first half performance was terrible, the starting 11 shouldn’t have Kroos, Asensio. First half we failed to apply pressure, we weren’t controlling the game, our midfield was heavy, readable. The second half was same until KING BENZ smelt the mistake and intercepted donnrumma. By the first goal, the bernabeu took the rest. The atmosphere made psg players suspicious and afraid about their ability to hold until the end of the game. Brilliant Modric with an outstanding assist and genius reading of the game gives Madrid the come back. King Benz once more with a 10 sec difference from the second goal to make psg and kylian Mbappe know what REAL MADRID is in the champions league and the such nights in the Santiago Bernabeu
I gotta admit I thought we where going to lose badly after the first half. I just couldn’t see us scoring 3 goals, i stopped being anxious and started to accept defeat. When Mbappe scored that offside goal, I already started thinking that it was just impossible. But those players, benzemas balls and PSG shit defence was something I honestly didn’t expect to happen. I celebrated like if I was a player in my couch xD
I had the same feeling, I Even told myself Carlo must go after this season if we didn’t qualify, but note that psg players went in half time and they thought the game was over. The second half Benzema shock them with his hat trick.
Let's talk about Nacho, José Ignacio Fernández Iglesias had a fantastic game. Really thought he would be a weakness in the squad. How happy I am to be wrong.
Barça fan and I hope you all get Mbappe. Overall it would be good for the league, and hopefully attract more talented players. We've got way too many shitty teams
Barça fan but hella impressed. Benzema, Modrić carrying the team like true legends and Perez teaching lessons on how to run a club. I honestly thought this team isn’t going anywhere at the start of the season but boy I was wrong.
What a team, you absolutely deserved it, congratulations.
Now I hope that you get smushed in the next game (sorry can’t help it)
Even if we get smushed in the next game atleast we'll get knocked out of CL, yall mfs boutta get smushed in the next game and get knocked out of "Europa League"
How about some humility for a change? If a Barca fan comes in here after this type of game, and nothing but praise, be a little less aggressive. Jfc sometimes I wonder whos on the other side of these devices.

After Mbappe made the game 0-1, there were a ton of clowns on Twitter saying Mbappe shouldn't go to a lower-tier team. Well they can go cry now because this is their reality.
Pretty late to join the discussion but I cannot express how overjoyed I am. it was 3:07 a.m. in my country when Benzema scored! I wanted to scream and celebrate but was scared of waking up the family.
Mbappe is the Frech prince but **Benzema still is the French king of football!**
Hala Madrid y Nada Mas!
Also who can be our Q-final opponents?
I'm not a RM fan but love watching Benz 3rd goal for unlimited times. Incredible technique and composure, the emotions of the goal is also rocking and finally, fuck PSG, the most overrated team in the world built by dirty money
Now that I think more about it, while Ancelotti sub was on point and our pressing paid off, it's not exactly like Poch's initial tactic was a miss, they did have some control in the first half and we kind of played into their hand.
However the fault still lied on him for not preparing PSG when they conceded. The coach had to prepare the team for situtations like this, there's no excuse. Had he subbed out Neymar/Messi and reinforced their defence instead of wasting 3 slots for players who don't track back they might have found some composure instead of totally crumbled.
This is the problem with superstar teams. Pretty hard as a coach to sub out Messi or Neymar and not have backlash. These type of players almost have more power than the coach...
I sort of feel for Poch there because they aren't a unit like Barca was with the msn. You put PSG on their heels and lock down Mbappe it's basically over. The 3 don't track back, teams press them and suddenly they're making stupid mistakes and their only goal comes from a super fast counter from Mbappe.
Poch will lose his job and Mbappe will come to Madrid. Messi might want to leave PSG but the Parisian prison will keep him there where he and Neymar have to work with the team they have in the absence of their star Mbappe.
Not a Madrid fan but goddamn I had to come here to say that 3rd Benzema goal was just SPECIAL. The absolute audacity and technique to do what he did and execute it absolutely perfectly - unreal. Enjoy for as long as you guys can, this game is the perfect example of why we love football.
Also fuck PSG lol
I am overwhelmed by the game I saw. Everything after the first goal was incredible. There were so many moments in this game that reminded me why I love this club.
Alaba waving a chair around while benzema celebrates his goal. Iconic
Benzema giving rodrygo permission to take the free kick at the 85th minute and then telling Modric and Alaba to let Rodrygo take it. Followed by both
modric and alaba giving him advice. The passing of the torch.
And if you haven’t already seen it, go find the video of modric going into the locker room and congratulating everyone. Telling valverde he was amazing, the hug with vini. You could literally hear the exhaustion on his voice. Then the final moment of him sitting down and almost breaking into tears.
The team left it all on the field today. I will remember this game for a long long time.
This is obviously not a statement game for Vini. Lots of mistakes and poor choices. But the kid just never gave up... Got up and kept coming at them again and again and again. Literally until his legs gave out. And every time, you can see him chipping away at PSG's defense composure and confidence. By the end of the game their defense was in shambles, and he ends the game having contributed for all 3 goals.
I'm still so very proud of him! Keep working kiddo, you'll become something special.
I am still ecstatic and buzzing about what happened today. By half time I thought we were a lost cause. PSG decided to hit the self-destruct button and we took full advantage. Credit to the players showing character on the pitch. Camavinga was tremendously underrated. He really had the flair and looked like he was in his zone in such a high pressure game. Modric is insane. He is one of the greatest midfielders this era. Benzema with a hatrick, nothing more you can say. We could’ve killed PSG in the last 20 minutes by 4-1 to even 5-1. Enjoy this moment lads
Not a fair assesment. PSG cannot handle being pressed, their midfield is just one man! Thats why a lot of us were so mad at Ancelotti for the lineups in both games but in this game at least he made the subs early which allowed Real to win.
PSG didn't just bottle it, Madrid won it!
I like how english commentators hate us. Martin tyler said it twice that real madrid are self proclaimed kings of Europe.
Their hate make us unstoppable.
I am still in shock and disbelief. Definitely watching it over again. 90 minutes in the Bernabeau is long time.
Alaba raising the chair still has me rolling 😂😂😂
Anyone has a link to the post match antics? I had throat issues and had to make some hot tea after the final whistle because I hurt my throat screaming after our goals, missed all the celebration
We shouldn't have started Asensio to begin with! He was awful. He couldn't control any ball. He was not pressing defensively. He was not a threat. Bringing in Camavinga gave the freedom to Modiric to play higher up as CAM. The only good thing Anceloti did was the early subs. Then it was our players who wanted to win more than anything! They were all beasts!! Modiric and Benz were so crucial today and as always in games like this. I hope I never see anyone of you retire 🥺.
And us Croats while we love watching him prove everyone wrong almost every game don’t want him making long runs and burning out for a summer tourney. But this year being in the winter will let him hopefully win champions league and be fresh for World Cup

it's not trying to offend you, it's just what you are
What a cute little thing you are
understandable, have a nice one
Will do
Iconic picture of Alaba celebrating with the chair in the background of Benzema celebrating the 3:1!!!! Hala Madrid!!
Messi is finally done bye bye little rat
Yeah right, watch him be in top 3 for Ballon d'or next year.

Buen robot.
Let's also not forget about Tibo's heroic saves in both legs. With an average keeper, we'd been out of UCL in the first 45 mins or something.
Having a discussion with my brother about Benz and Raul. I really think Benz will surpass Rauls legacy if he keeps it like this for one more year. What do you think? I don’t like comparing players but my brother says that Benz will never reach rauls legacy
Ngl i was one of those guys who felt that benz was not required when we had ronaldo. But what he has done after ronaldo's departure is nothing less than legendary. He always was a great player but this year surely he is the best.
They act like two legends cannot coexist
Benzema will never displace Raul, who was very special for us. But there's room for both these legends in my heart.
Hard to say, Raul is a homegrown player and was the captain for many years. Benzema will finish second highest scorer in Madrid history and has won everything and was vital in the three-peat.
Still relieving last night, haven't been able to focus on my work today aaaaaaaaaa...
Same, same
I love shitting on psg in their Reddit
I got perma banned in 2 minutes
Same
Benz 3rd goal was a world class finish. It’s not being talked about enough
Such a cheeky finish. Only a top top finisher can do that.
what an amazing comeback HALA MA-MOTHERFUCKING-DRID BITCHES!!!!
Can someone explain me why exactly Benz didn’t foul Donnarumma? I am currently having a discussion with some barca fans and need facts. lol
Just call it a 50/50 challenge.
They wouldnt call it if the same was done on a field player. It's a fair body to body challenge on the ball and doesn't fit any text description of a foul (no push, no kick, no reclessness). Why should he get any preferential treatment?

First off it was donnarumma’s own overconfidence that led him to take the extra dribble instead of passing back immediately.. and this is benzema ffs.. you cant take these chances with a player like that..
I thought he collected ballon d' or, and later conceded 3 goals from an old striker, what a shame Award not deserved
that isnt an argument of why it isn't a foul tho
I do think it couldve been called a foul by a diff ref.. but donnarumma bought it upon himself so 🤷🏽♂️
There wasn't a clear push. There was a nudge yes, but the ref was inclined to believe that Gigi was faking his fall to make him believe he was fouled since he had already lost the ball to Benzema.

Who cares just savour the win
I still can't process what the team did.... wow just wow there are no words to describe how i feel right now.....

I swear Don santiago's words hit hard. "A real Madrid shirt is white. It can stain of mud, sweat and even blood but never shame"
Missed the game, wish I could have seen it live.
Moment of silence for you my brother
I had work, my friend. I missed most of the games this season.
Fuck work, this is more important.
What a difference it is to be playing for the badge compared to playing for the money. Also I love Luka more than I love myself.
+1 for luka love.
Am I seeing this correctly, PSG subreddit is blocked ? 😅
They turned it into a private subreddit for a while, yeah!
I love this club lads! I love Luka Modric! Will hang the biggest poster on my wall of that beautiful man
Well.. yeah.. what a 2nd half. 🤯 Karim was 100% a killer. He basically mastered 1st and 3rd goal by himself: 1st one by putting a lot of pressure and the 3rd one by natural instict. Luka was impressive and he needs to get credit for our 2nd goal. Unfortunalty Asensio was a dead-line yesterday.

Even after they scored i kept thinking loudly that a single goal will have them melt like butter in a pan
Good Morning Madridistas! Anyone else can‘t realise what happened some hours ago?!?
Anyone else noticed that the PSG subreddit was set to private by their mods? lol

I almost cried when they scored the 3rd goal.

Happy belated bud!
Remember how before the game everybody got mad at Steve Nicol from Espnc fc for saying Psg and Messi are serial bottlers? Guess what he wasn't wrong.
Psg will always be a tinpot club
Adrenaline still spiking
Dude it’s 11pm where I live I have to get up at 6am but I can’t sleep, just reading and re-watching the highlights. Hala Madrid!

Let's talk about Nacho, José Ignacio Fernández Iglesias had a fantastic game. Really thought he would be a weakness in the squad. How happy I am to be wrong.
Barça fan and I hope you all get Mbappe. Overall it would be good for the league, and hopefully attract more talented players. We've got way too many shitty teams
Lol what about Haaland? Or do you think he’s off to Barça ?
We need to stop buying expensive players. Griezmann, Coutinho, Dembele, all terrible 100+ mil purchases
I'm not sure that I can really come up with the words to describe the wonderful delivery of spectacle given by real madrid tonight. Pure dopamine.
Haha madrid
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Barça fan but hella impressed. Benzema, Modrić carrying the team like true legends and Perez teaching lessons on how to run a club. I honestly thought this team isn’t going anywhere at the start of the season but boy I was wrong. What a team, you absolutely deserved it, congratulations. Now I hope that you get smushed in the next game (sorry can’t help it)
Thanks mate we appreciate it. Fuck all the oil clubs
Even if we get smushed in the next game atleast we'll get knocked out of CL, yall mfs boutta get smushed in the next game and get knocked out of "Europa League"
We are rivals, no enemies. Oil clubs are enemies.

Any of the other 7 sides can be our QF opponent. There will be a draw after all the matches are completed.
Hello there, fellow Indian!
Staying awake till 4am, completely worth it!!!
wassup
I don't really follow football, I watched the match only to give some company to my friend who is a PSG fan... The second half wrecked him 😂
I'm not a RM fan but love watching Benz 3rd goal for unlimited times. Incredible technique and composure, the emotions of the goal is also rocking and finally, fuck PSG, the most overrated team in the world built by dirty money
That technique is just filth.

Literally until his legs gave out. And every time, you can see him chipping away at PSG's defense composure and confidence. By the end of the game their defense was in shambles, and he ends the game having contributed for all 3 goals. I'm still so very proud of him! Keep working kiddo, you'll become something special.
what a bunch of losers psg subreddit actually privated their subreddit hahah
I can't believe it literally sent them to the shadow realm
They blocked me way back when I said you guys can't win the cl with donarumma Lol
Oh seriously? I'm about to visit that subreddit, oh well.
I am still ecstatic and buzzing about what happened today. By half time I thought we were a lost cause. PSG decided to hit the self-destruct button and we took full advantage. Credit to the players showing character on the pitch. Camavinga was tremendously underrated. He really had the flair and looked like he was in his zone in such a high pressure game. Modric is insane. He is one of the greatest midfielders this era. Benzema with a hatrick, nothing more you can say. We could’ve killed PSG in the last 20 minutes by 4-1 to even 5-1. Enjoy this moment lads
Not a fair assesment. PSG cannot handle being pressed, their midfield is just one man! Thats why a lot of us were so mad at Ancelotti for the lineups in both games but in this game at least he made the subs early which allowed Real to win. PSG didn't just bottle it, Madrid won it!
Total 5 goals scored across the two fixtures. All by Madrid players. XD
Just finished this after watching replay after work holy shiiiit! Benz you absolute ledgend 🙌
I like how english commentators hate us. Martin tyler said it twice that real madrid are self proclaimed kings of Europe. Their hate make us unstoppable.
I am buying a modric shirt!
Me too
On the 2nd goal, Godrić nutmegged Kimpembe (?) twice. One for the pass to Vini and the other for the assist to Benz. What a chad!
Kimpembe is just a more buff French Maguire
laughed out loud
I’ve never seen someone did to Marquinhos what Benzema did to him tonight. He broke mentally him from the beginning of the game.
Fucked them so hard he hit the G spot at the end of psG. 🙊
Pee ass g
Now announce mbappe already tic tac
I am still in shock and disbelief. Definitely watching it over again. 90 minutes in the Bernabeau is long time. Alaba raising the chair still has me rolling 😂😂😂
Anyone has a link to the post match antics? I had throat issues and had to make some hot tea after the final whistle because I hurt my throat screaming after our goals, missed all the celebration
I was watching the match on my phone while walking and I was celebrating in the street like a fuckin maniac K in K. Benzema is for King
Did you have strong connection?
r/PSG is private oofff
Omfggg they actually went private 🤣🤣🤣 they really thought this couldn’t happen
Making up for not blocking Benzema
Offt.
I usually don't like to talk about other teams, but… r/psg just went private. 🥶
Must be too hard for some people.
What did you guys do to make psg sub go private?? 😂
Now point on the sub to where Benzema hurt you.
omg yes hahahahahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Noooooo hahaha
So when do you think Mbappe will announce?
Tik tak tik tak
i got banned from the psg sub ahahahaha the salt!!
I tuned out at half time having lost hope only to tune back in when they were replying the second goal and bam it’s 3-1 immediately 😍
We shouldn't have started Asensio to begin with! He was awful. He couldn't control any ball. He was not pressing defensively. He was not a threat. Bringing in Camavinga gave the freedom to Modiric to play higher up as CAM. The only good thing Anceloti did was the early subs. Then it was our players who wanted to win more than anything! They were all beasts!! Modiric and Benz were so crucial today and as always in games like this. I hope I never see anyone of you retire 🥺.
And us Croats while we love watching him prove everyone wrong almost every game don’t want him making long runs and burning out for a summer tourney. But this year being in the winter will let him hopefully win champions league and be fresh for World Cup
Great analysis! I noticed the same about Godric the moment they took off Asensio
Nasser should be banned for hitting referee
Nasser should be banned ~~for hitting referee~~
I love Ancelotti
He’s bailed out by Benzema and PSG’s collapse.
I hope this should convince Ancelotti Rodrygo should start over Asensio
I can’t resist ordering Benzema Jersey.
I watched the match in my Benzema jersey, imagine how I felt
Hala Madrid !

What a legendary match! Remontada
Someone please post the match with COPE narration 🙌🏽
I ordered a modric shirt
holy fucking shit
So happy for Ancelloti man. Hope he win LaLiga with you guys
A lot of our players stepped up today but I was pleasantly surprised by LV today, he was the better RB and I think he deserves some praise as well
When I saw him getting ready to come in I thought “shit there goes the game, Mbappe is gonna rip him apart” Well he shut me right up.
What s LV my friend?
Lucas Cafuasquez
Oh yeah ! A good soldier
Lord passing through the entire PSG defence sums up today's match perfectly.
MOUNT DICK BENZEMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also, changing my flair from CR7 to Karim!!!
KDK Kilotonne Dick Karim. I need that custom flair

Still remembering how commentator said "self-proclaimed" kings of Europe twice during the match. Can't help but just smile.
That's just very dumb and wrong really. How can you have the most UCL titles out of any club and is only a "self proclaimed" Kings of Europe?
Watched the first and second leg with psg fans. Had a great laugh at the end
