Paris Saint-Germain’s latest quest to win the Champions League was ended by Real Madrid on Wednesday.
The Ligue 1 leaders squandered a 2-0 aggregate lead with just half an hour of the tie remaining, losing 3-1 in the second leg and 3-2 on aggregate thanks to Karim Benzema’s hat-trick.
It means head coach Mauricio Pochettino could already be looking ahead to a change of scenery.
