Goals from Kylian Mbappe and Nuno Mendes earned Paris St Germain a 2-1 win at Juventus in the Champions League on Wednesday night.
The Ligue 1 side ended their group stage in stunning fashion with a victory away from home.
Christopher Galtier's men have booked their spot in the last-16 of Europe's biggest competition but finished second of their group after Benfica thrashed Maccabi Haifa 6-1 in their other fixture.
Kylian Mbappe opening goal for PSG
Mbappe broke the deadlock in Turin in the 13th minute when he received the ball from Leo Messi and dodged through Juve's defence to unleash a low shot inside the far post.
Bonucci equalised for Juventus
Juventus levelled shortly before halftime after Juan Cuadrado sent the ball into the six-yard box with a diving header and defender Leonardo Bonucci tapped it in for an equaliser.
Nuno Mendes Winner For PSG
PSG sealed the win in the 69th minute when Mbappe found Mendes with an excellent cross between two Juve players for the substitute to score within one minute of coming on.

PSG finished second behind Benfica who thrashed Maccabi Haifa 6-1 in the other group game.
