PSG 2-0 Dortmund: Neymar, Bernat seal UCL quarterfinal spot

The Hindu  

Paris Saint-Germain did not let a lack of support derail its performance as it defeated Borussia Dortmund 2-0 to seal a 3-2 aggregate win en route to the Champions League quarterfinals. With Wednesday's clash at Parc des Princes played behind closed doors amid fears over the spread of coronavirus, PSG overturned a 2-1 opening-leg deficit to progress to the last eight for the first time since 2016. READ | Neymar got Thomas Tuchel's side started in the 28th minute, capping an impressive display with a diving header from point-blank range, before Juan Bernat doubled PSG's tally. With thousands of fans making their voices heard outside Parc des Princes, it was Dortmund which went close to a breakthrough against the run of play – Erling Haaland inches away from connecting with Achraf Hakimi's cross. With Mbappe only passed fit enough to start on the bench, Neymar – who has suffered untimely injuries at this time in each of his previous two seasons at PSG – came to the fore in style on Wednesday, inspiring the French champion with his header and running the play in general for the home side.
