Paris Saint-Germain booked a place in the Champions League quarterfinals thanks to a 3-2 aggregate victory over Borussia Dortmund.

Neymar opened the scoring in the 28th minute before defender Juan Bernat scored at the stroke of half-time to double PSG's lead.

Despite the game being played behind closed doors, around 3000 PSG ultras gathered outside the stadium and their raucous chants and celebrations could be overheard inside the stadium. Unlike the first leg, Thomas Tuchel's side were impressive on their home turf as they kept a leash on the visitors for much of the game. Erling Haaland, who scored a brace against PSG at the Signal Iduna Park, struggled upfront while winger Jadon Sancho failed to get involved for most of the game.

Angel Di Maria was one of the best players on the pitch after the Argentine turned provider for PSG's opener in the 28th minute. Di Maria's well-timed corner kick was met by a diving header from Neymar for the goal. Juan Bernat doubled the tally after the Spaniard struck Pablo Sarabia's low cross past Roman Burki.
