Twitter Reacts to PSG Defeating Dortmund to Reach Quarter-Finals of the Champions League

By Ed - 12 March 2020, 0:34

Paris Saint-Germain defeated Borussia Dortmund 2-0 inside an empty Parc des Princes on Wednesday night and advanced to the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League for the first time since 2016.

Neymar Jr. scored his second goal of the tie in the 28th minute—a rare diving header at that—and Juan Bernat doubled the lead in stoppage time right before halftime.

Miraculously, PSG held on for the final 45 minutes and kept a clean sheet against one of the most prolific attacking teams in Europe. It was exactly the type of performance PSG fans hoped for but rarely see especially at this stage of the Champions League.

It was a shocking victory and one that will be remembered in Paris and around the world for years. After the final whistle, social media lit up with hot takes, memes, criticism, and a lot of butt-hurt PSG haters trying to take away from the win.

I combed Twitter so you don’t have to and found the best of the best. Enjoy:

Congratulations to PSG on reaching the quarter finals. In big games you know big players.
NEYMAR is one.
Seeing how he was vibrating before the game i suspected he was on a mission.

Haaland is not going to like this (when Kimpembe let’s him out of his pocket that is 😉) https://t.co/bm3QvxiRL6
