PSG cruise to the last 16 with 7-0 victory over Brest

Paris St-Germain roared into the last 16 of the Champions League with a thumping victory over Brest.

Luis Enrique's side will now face Liverpool or Barcelona with the draw due to take place on Friday, 21 February at 11:00 GMT, in Nyon Switzerland.

Already leading 3-0 from the first leg of their knockout play-off, the hosts again exhibited their superiority over a fellow French side they have now defeated four times this season - scoring 18 times in the process.

Bradley Barcola extended their advantage with a neat near-post effort and his fellow winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia tapped in PSG's second of the evening before the break.

Portugal international Joao Neves also hit the crossbar for the hosts, before his compatriot and midfield partner Vitinha curled a low shot into the right corner from 18 yards just before the hour mark.

From there PSG moved through the gears.

Goncalo Ramos teed up fellow substitute Desire Doue for their fourth, the impressive Nuno Mendes slid in Achraf Hakimi's teasing ball for a fifth, Ramos' deft finish brought a sixth and teenager Senny Mayulu rounded off the scoring with four minutes left.

It ensured a miserable night in the French capital for Brest, who only threatened sporadically when Mathias Pereira Lage's placed effort was cleared off the line by PSG captain Marquinhos and Pierre Lees-Melou hit the post with a curling effort.

UEFA Champions League

Match Facts

Paris SG’s 3-0 victory in the first leg against Brest was the 19th time they’ve won the first leg of a European knockout tie away from home – they’ve progressed from 17 of the previous 18, failing only against Manchester United in the 2018-19 UEFA Champions League.
Brest trail by three goals in this tie against Paris SG, following their first leg defeat (0-3). No side has ever progressed from a two-legged UEFA Champions League knockout stage tie, having lost the first leg at home by three or more goals.
Paris SG are unbeaten in their last 31 meetings with Brest in all competitions (W23 D8), their longest unbeaten run against an opponent in their history. They’ve beaten them three times already this season, last winning four games against an opponent in a single campaign in 2017-18 (4 vs Monaco).
Brest haven’t won away from home against Paris SG in any competition since September 1981 (2-1 in Ligue 1), failing to win their last 18 such matches since then (D5 L13). Indeed, Brest have never scored more than two goals in an away match against the Parisians (13 goals in 21 matches overall).
Brest have lost four of their last five UEFA Champions League matches (W1), with those four defeats coming by an aggregate score of 11-0.
Paris SG have won their last four UEFA Champions League games, netting at least three goals each time. They last won five in a row between September and November 2017, also scoring at least three times in each victory in that run.
Brest failed to score in the first leg against Paris SG, despite striking the woodwork on three occasions during the match. The only team on record (since 2003-04) to hit the woodwork more times and fail to score in a UEFA Champions League knockout stage game is Paris SG (4 v Borussia Dortmund in May 2024).
Ousmane Dembélé has scored seven goals in his three appearances against Brest in all competitions this season. It’s the second most goals a PSG player has scored against an opponent in a single campaign, after Zlatan Ibrahimovic against St Etienne in 2014-15 (8).
Paris SG’s Ousmane Dembélé has scored six goals in his last three UEFA Champions League games, netting a hat-trick against VfB Stuttgart and a brace against Brest in his last two. The last player to score multiple goals in three consecutive appearances was Erling Haaland, who did four in a row in the 2020-21 campaign.
Paris SG’s Vitinha has completed the most es under high-intensity pressure in the UEFA Champions League this season (395). Meanwhile, of midfielders to attempt 200+ such es, he also ranks second overall for completion rate under high-intensity pressure (92.7%), only behind Granit Xhaka (93.8%).
