Tuchel hails magnificent PSG as Red Star win seals last-16 spot

Thomas Tuchel was thrilled with Paris Saint-Germain's attitude and quality as they beat Red Star Belgrade 4-1 to reach the Champions League last 16.

Edinson Cavani set the Ligue 1 leaders on course for victory in Serbia with the opener after just nine minutes before Neymar doubled their advantage shortly before half-time.

Red Star’s Marko Gobeljic halved the deficit early in the second half, but further strikes from Marquinhos and Kylian Mbappe made the three points safe.
