Mauricio Pochettino endured a night to forget on Wednesday as his Paris Saint-Germain side crashed out of the Champions League – and the result didn’t go unnoticed by Manchester United fans.
The French giants looked to be well on course for a place in the quarter-finals after Kylian Mbappe put them 2-0 up on aggregate at the Santiago Bernabeu. The Frenchman had scored the winner in Paris last month to give Pochettino’s side what seemed an all-important advantage.
But they threw the tie away in spectacular fashion, with Karim Benzema their chief tormenter. The 34-year-old struck his first goal just after the hour mark to give Real some hope in the tie.
