Paris Saint-Germain overcame a one-goal deficit to reach the Champions League quarter-finals for the first time since 2016, beating Borussia Dortmund 2-0 to progress 3-2 on aggregate.
Coronavirus fears ensured the contest was played out in a surreal atmosphere behind closed doors, but Neymar headed the Parisians in front on away goals when he rose unmarked (28) for his 17th strike of the season, cancelling out the 2-1 deficit from the first leg in Dortmund three weeks ago.
The hosts, spurred on by the sound of thousands of supporters outside the Parc des Princes, doubled their advantage on the stroke of half-time when Pablo Sarabia’s low cross was tucked home by Juan Bernat, but Dortmund knew one goal would send the tie into extra time.
Lucien Favre’s side were lacklustre throughout, however, with Erling Haaland failing to add to his 10 goals in the competition this season, and they ended the night with 10 men after Emre Can was sent off following an altercation with Neymar (89). PSG will learn their quarter-final opponents at the draw in Nyon on March 20.
