Paris, Feb 20 (NationPress) Paris Saint-Germain achieved a remarkable 7-0 win over Stade Brestois 29 in the second leg of their play-off, securing a place in the last 16 of the Champions League.

This victory marks the second-largest aggregate win in UEFA Champions League history. PSG also made history by becoming the first team to have seven different scorers in a single match.

Bradley Barcola opened the scoring, followed by Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who netted his first European goal before halftime. Vitinha added the third goal, leading to four home goals within 18 minutes as Desire Doue, Nuno Mendes, and Goncalo Ramos also scored, before substitute Senny Mayulu capped off the scoring late in the match.

Brest entered the second leg trailing 3-0 and needed an early goal to inspire hope, but Barcola struck in the 20th minute, extending PSG's aggregate lead to 4-0.

The Frenchman, just onside, maneuvered past Luck Zogbe and created space to shoot. Barcola scored with a left-footed shot at the near post, beating Brest’s goalkeeper Gregoire Coudert.

PSG continued their aggressive play, adding a second goal in the 39th minute through Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.

Barcola redirected a cross to Kvaratskhelia at the far post, who finished from a tight angle for his first Champions League goal for PSG.

After scoring twice in the first half, PSG exploded with three goals in just 10 minutes during the second half. Vitinha made it 3-0 in the 59th minute, and they didn't slow down.

In quick succession, Desire Doue scored in the 64th minute, followed by Nuno Mendes in the 69th minute.

The scoring continued as Goncalo Ramos netted in the 76th minute, with Doué assisting him in the box for a perfect finish past Coudert.

PSG's final goal was a memorable moment for Senny Mayulu, who fired a left-footed shot that deflected off Coudert but still found the net for his first Champions League goal.

PSG now awaits the draw to find out who their next opponent will be. The Ligue 1 club is set to face either Liverpool, the Premier League leaders, or FC Barcelona from La Liga in the knockout stage for the second consecutive year.

Meanwhile, Ryan Flamingo's extra-time goal helped PSV secure a 3-1 victory over Juventus, successfully overturning a one-goal deficit from the first leg to advance with a 4-3 aggregate win.

Borussia Dortmund also progressed to the last 16 with a goalless draw against Sporting Lisbon at Signal Iduna Park, completing a 3-0 aggregate victory.
