Champions League
Paris 1-0 Real Madrid: magic goal from Ebape at 90+4′ by Cerbero Courtois
Thibaut Courtois kept Real at the Parc des Princes for 94 minutes, also saving a Lionel Messi penalty, but Killian Ebape scored a great goal in the delay to win 1-0 in Paris in the Champions League round of 16.
Paris were the only team to step onto the lawn of the “Parc des Princes” but were almost stepped on by Real for the Champions League round of 16, thanks largely to the impressive Thibaut Courtois. However, Killian Ebape’s goal in the 4th minute of delay gave her a just victory 1-0.
The Merenges goalkeeper made a number of saves, particularly against the Frenchman, intercepting a Lionel Messi penalty, but Ebape had the last word and celebrated furiously.
Despite only three finals (a negative record in the 2003-2004 Meringue Cup, as well as a difference of 18 with those of Paris), Carlo Ancelotti’s team stayed alive in the qualifier that will be settled on March 9 at the “Santiago Bernabéu”.
Paris immediately got the ball on their feet, also with Real’s blessing. A shot from Angel di Maria in good conditions through the penalty area in the 4th minute gave an idea of what was to come. The clash between Killian Ebape and Danny Carvajal on a wing was quite unfair for the Spanish right-back as the French forward wanted to prove Real will roll out a golden carpet to take it from the Parisians in the summer.
Courtois stopped him in a four-on-four from Messi’s magical pass but the dangers at his home weren’t limited there as the hosts had settled at Real Stadium. Messi’s tendency to center left Ebape alone against many opponents and so despite dominance, the chances (but also the finals in general) were created for Paris with the dropper.
The 2nd half started without a change, but with many endgames. The Parisians tried from everywhere, especially Ebape, but he found Courtois in front of him again. The same goes for Nuno Mendes on a try from 35 meters when the Belgian goalkeeper managed to be the first to chase ahead of Ebape, who came out in a foursome.
Mauricio Pochettino’s players remained stationed outside Real’s area, looking for a hole. When she was found, Carvajal Ebape fell and the referee awarded a penalty. Messi was preparing to score against Real after seven goalless games but Courtois again said ‘no’ from eleven yards.
The two managers delayed their move, with Carlo Ancelotti replacing Carvajal with Lucas Bathketh and the late Marco Asensio with Rodrigo and Pochettino, giving Neymar the chance for a comeback in November.
Messi and Ebape continued to fire from all ranges to beat Courtois but the Belgian was unreachable for 94 minutes. In the latter stages of the game, Ebape made an amazing move, playing between Bathketh and Eder Millitao, placing from the left and beating his tall opponent in the game to give his team the lead in their second game in three weeks.

“Bavaria” Penalized for fans using fireworks in the Champions League match against Sporting – 3:1
Following the repeated use of pyrotechnics in the South Stand during home matches in the UEFA Champions League, Bayern were fined €50,000 by the UEFA Disciplinary Commission and the partial closure of the Allianz Arena (sectors 111–114) for the club’s next home match in European competition. The previously imposed suspended penalty will come into force after the incident in the match against Sporting Lisbon on 9 December 2025 and will be applied in the next home match against Union Saint-Gilloise on 21 January.
As tickets are not allocated to blocks during Bayern home matches in the lower tier of the South Stand and all 9,336 tickets for blocks 109-117 are valid, the club cannot technically cancel only 4,800 tickets for blocks 111-114. Therefore, as a first step, all South Stand tickets will be canceled and the club will refund the ticket price to the relevant buyers. All South Stand tickets will therefore be void and will not entitle you to a match against Saint-Gilloise at the Allianz Arena.
Ticket cancellations will be made on Friday. 109-110 and 115-117. In case of resale of seats in the blocks, Bayern will inform you about further actions and organizational details in a timely manner.

Ukrainian goalkeeper of Benfica Lisbon Anatoly Trubin He believes his team can reach the knockout stages of the Champions League despite having just six points after six matches.
“We understand that we have put ourselves in a really bad and difficult situation with these four defeats in the first four matches. But we still think we can do it. We are still alive. It is still difficult because we will have to play with two strong teams (Juventus and Real Madrid – approx.).”
But as you said, we have a coach who has won a lot. And the last match for him was an anniversary match; 750th match of his career. So he has a lot of experience. And he knows what to do. He knows what to say to us to make us understand that we still have a chance. And we will work as one group; players, coaches, technical staff, everyone. Fans too. And together we can do this,” the goalkeeper said in an interview with On The Continent – A European Football Podcast.
