It’s an earthquake: after having mastered 150 minutes of their double confrontation against Real Madrid, the Parisians have completely collapsed and are leaving the Champions League through the back door. Enough to make Joel Embiid and Luka Doncic react, two crazy football enthusiasts in front of their screen.
After Barcelona and Manchester, there will now be Madrid. For the 3rd time in 5 years, Paris Saint-Germain lost their footing in the Champions League, leading to their irreversible fall. After a first-leg victory and a controlled first half at the Santiago Bernabeu, Mauricio Pochettino’s men literally offered the qualification to Real of a Karim Benzema in a state of grace.
A match reversed in barely a quarter of an hour, for a crazy scenario that shocked Joel Embiid, Madrid supporter from the first hour. Unsurprisingly, the Cameroonian downright lost his temper in a viral tweet following outside of KB9’s foot for the third goal:
OMGGGGGGGGG #Hala Madrid

Embiid and Doncic in madness after the crazy qualification of Real de Benzema
Beyond the qualification of his favorite club, the pivot of the Sixers rubs his hands on Kylian Mbappé. Because for him, it’s sure: the French prodigy will sign for Real next year, and thus join the armada merengue :
Mbappe is the best player in the world and I can’t believe we’re getting him next year. Life’s good!!! #Hala Madrid

It’s amazing, I’m still in shock. What a victory!! UEFA thought they could punish Real Madrid for the Super League, and they lost.
On his side, Luka Doncic also watched the match with interest, he who was a member of Real Madrid before flying to the NBA. And for the Slovenian, the victory is a huge relief:

The NBA community is already unleashed by finding the most “choky” team to be compared to PSG. And the anthology, to be found hereit hurts…
The incredible scenario of this knockout round of the Champions League return crossed the Atlantic, and inflamed even some NBA players. And as cruel as the scenario is for PSG, it is for these kinds of moments that we love sport.
