Borussia Dortmund teenager Erling Haaland scored twice in eight minutes to lead his team to a 2-1 victory over Paris St Germain in their Champions League Round of 16 first leg on Tuesday.

The Norwegian 19-year-old, who has already netted eight times in five Bundesliga matches, stabbed in from close range after a quickfire passing move in the 69th minute and then thundered in an unstoppable shot for his second in the 77th, two minutes after Neymar had levelled for the French champions.

Haaland has now scored 10 Champions League goals in seven games this season -- eight for Salzburg in the group stage.

PSG, who were eliminated at this stage of the competition in the previous three seasons, had fit-again Neymar and Kylian Mbappe back in the starting lineup but were almost completely shut out by an extremely efficient Dortmund backline.

Neymar, who had been out for weeks with a rib injury, hit the post late on. The return leg is in Paris on March 11.

Prediction

Both sides are capable of creativity and calamity and any outcome is possible. PSG go into the Champions League knockout stages with a more balanced midfield than before, and a lot will rest on Idrissa Gueye’s defensive work. Dortmund have looked very vulnerable in defence in recent games and PSG are likely to exploit any weakness.

Borussia Dortmund 2-2 PSG

PSG's long-running series of trying to progress past the round of 16 of the Champions League is set for its latest dramatic episode this evening as they travel to Borussia Dortmund. Plenty of goals should be on offer at the Westfalenstadion, with both sides capable of calamity and creativity. 

Erling Haaland should make his Champions League debut for the hosts. The teenage sensation has scored five times in less than an hour of Bundesliga action for BVB.

Not everyone is a fan of the PSG team it seems.

[18 February 2020 19:05 · Lawrence Ostlere]

In fairness to PSG, they've done pretty well in the first leg of knockout stages over the years. They won 2-0 at Old Trafford this time last year, and thrashed Barcelona 4-0 in 2017. No one's coming back from those deficits...

[18 February 2020 19:08 · Lawrence Ostlere]

Just the eight goals for Erling Haaland so far in this year's Champions League. Will the Norwegian add to his tally tonight?

[18 February 2020 19:10 · Lawrence Ostlere]

Dortmund have scored have scored 28 goals but let in 15 in their last eight games alone. We should be in for a treat tonight.

[18 February 2020 19:11 · Lawrence Ostlere]

Icardi and Cavani have to settle for a spot on the PSG bench. There are worse options to bring on if you're chasing a goal.
