SO CLOSE FROM OTAMENDI!
Grimaldo whips in a brilliant free-kick and Otamendi shoulders it wide, a better touch and it would have certainly been Benfica's second goal of the night.
RAFA SILVA FOULED
Neymar escapes a yellow card following a late tackle on Rafa Silva in the final third. What can Benfica muster from this free kick?
PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN STARTING TO FLOW
Both Neymar and Messi are getting more and more involved in the match. Messi starting to get on the ball and dictate proceedings, Neymar looking to go 1v1 with the ball.
NO FOUL GIVEN
Rafa Silva is nudged over by Nuno Mendes in a good area for Benfica, but no free-kick is given.
PSG FREE KICK
Good work from Messi and then Vitinha who is fouled and PSG now have a free kick in a central position.
Paris Saint-Germain
SO CLOSE TO SOMETHING SPECIAL!
Neymar improvises brilliantly, striking an overhead kick onto the top of the crossbar! What a goal that would have been.
