PSG made a statement in their all-French UEFA Champions League knockout stage playoff clash. They managed a 3-0 away win in the first leg, with Ousmane Dembele once again the star of the show finding the back of the net twice.
Vitinha opened the scoring for the Parisians with a 21st-minute penalty with Dembele scoring his first right at the end of the first half, netting in the 45th minute.
Dembele's second was a spectacular effort. After some good build-up play, he scrambled through the Brest penalty area before finding a right-footed finish in the 66th minute. Dembele has now scored 14 goals in eight matches this year.
