Watch: Benzema stuns PSG, makes history with 17-minute hat-trick
Karim Benzema sent Real Madrid through to the Champions League quarterfinals after scoring a rapid hat-trick against Paris Saint-Germain in Wednesday's frenetic last-16 meeting.
The French star had the Santiago Bernabeu rocking after his second goal of the match, notched in the 76th minute, leveled the aggregate score at two apiece. He then completed an improbable hat-trick just 106 seconds later to lift Real Madrid to a 3-2 aggregate victory over the stunned visiting side.
In total, his three goals came over a 17-minute span.
