Paris Saint-Germain booked their place in the UEFA Champions League last 16 for a
14th straight season after a 2-2 draw with 10-man AS Monaco, sealing progress as
the defending champions.
Monaco started strongly and took a deserved lead before the break through
Maghnes Akliouche.
But the contest shifted early in the second half when Mamadou Coulibaly was
dismissed for a second yellow card.
PSG responded immediately, with Marquinhos tapping home before Khvicha
Kvaratskhelia struck from close range after Achraf Hakimi’s effort was spilled.
A late Jordan Teze goal set up a tense finish, yet Monaco ran out of time as their
European campaign ended.
PSG advance once more, though questions remain after being pushed hard by 10
men across both legs.
