October 26, 2022 PSG Hammer Maccabi Haifa As Juventus Drop Out Of Champions League
Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe were the stars of the show as both scored two goals each in Paris St-Germain's thrashing of Maccabi Haifa to reach the last 16 of the Champions League.
 
Neymar and Carlos Soler also got on the scoresheet while Shon Goldberg scored an own goal.
 
Messi's two goals mean he becomes the first player to score 80 goals in the group phase of the Champions League. He was also denied a record ninth Champions League hat-trick by the crossbar.
 
PSG top Group H with 11 points from five games, level on points with Benfica, while Juventus, who have failed to qualify, and Maccabi Haifa have three.
 
Elsewhere, Juventus missed out on reaching the knockout stage for the first time since 2013-14 after losing 4-3 at Benfica.
 
Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri says his side are "sorry and angry" but he refused to accept not getting out of the group was a "failure".
 
Benfica led 4-1 before two goals in three minutes by Juventus pair Arkadiusz Milik and Weston McKennie set up an exciting finish.
 
But the Portuguese side held on to secure a victory which ensured they will join PSG in the last 16.
 
Juventus, who were beaten finalists in 2015 and 2017, can only now finish third in Group H, which would earn them a place in the Europa League knockout stages.
