Real Madrid 3 Paris Saint-Germain 1: Record-breaking Ronaldo inspires comeback

Cristiano Ronaldo helped to overturn Adrien Rabiot's opener at the Santiago Bernabeu to give Real Madrid the edge over Paris Saint-Germain.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice as Real Madrid came from a goal down to beat Paris Saint-Germain 3-1 at the Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday.

Adrien Rabiot's away goal had put the Ligue 1 leaders in front in the Champions League last-16 tie, but Ronaldo's double and Marcelo's late strike gave the home side the victory.

The clash has been billed as potentially critical to the futures of head coaches Zinedine Zidane and Unai Emery, with both under pressure to deliver the biggest prize in European football this season, but the Madrid boss will be the happier ahead of the return fixture at Parc des Princes.
