MAN OF THE MATCH - Ibrahimovic (PSG): The Swede hardly had to step out of first gear but grabbed two well-taken goals and gave the occasional cameo of his genius on a comfortable night for PSG.

FULL-TIME: PSG 3-0 BENFICA. A double from Zlatan and a tap in from Marquinhos inside half an hour seal a comfortable win for the hosts.
90+2'
An easy win for PSG ahead of a big domestic game against Marseille at the weekend. Benfica have much to improve if they are going to push for second spot in this group.
90+1'
Cavani goes down on the edge of the box. No free kick. It looked like a dive from the striker.
90'
Three minutes have been added.
89'
PSG stroking it around at the back now. Everyone is just waiting for that whistle...
88'
Jesus will at least be happy with how his substitutes have done. Markovic in particular has been very bright.
87'
Benfica knocking it around with some nice triangles, but at 3-0 down you'd expect a little more from them.
86'
The referee may as blow his whistle now. Both sides seem to lack any desire to grab a goal.
85'
It's whipped into the near post but Ibrahimovic is able to easily head to safety.
84'
Markovic drives into the right side of the PSG area but Rabiot is there to slide in and concede the corner.
83'
You get the feeling PSG may have one more goal in them. Question is, will it be Zlatan?
82'
The home support are in good voice. They've used the second half to have a good time, safe in the knowledge they had the game wrapped up at half time.
81'
Man City have pulled one back against Bayern. It's now 3-1 to the Germans at the Etihad.
80'
Jesus won't be happy with what his side have produced tonight but he'll at least be slightly appeased by the fact they haven't completely capitulated in this second period.

PSG sub: Zoumana Camara on for Alex.
78'
Maxwell ventures to the left byline and hangs up a cross towards Zlatan but Luisao is there to nod clear.
77'
STAT: PSG are unbeaten at home in their last 24 games in European competition, qualifiers included (15 wins, 9 draws). Their last defeat dates back to 23 November 2006 in the group phase of the UEFA Cup, against Hapoel Tel-Aviv (2-4).
