VIDEO | PSG Eliminate a Barcelona That Can No Longer Compete in The Champions League
The PSG staged an impressive comeback 1-3 against Barcelona on away soil and secured their spot in the Champions League Semifinals with outstanding performances from Ousmane Dembélé, Vítor Ferreira, and Kylian Mbappé scoring a brace.
The first half was marked by a noticeable equality between both teams. However, Barcelona was the first to cause damage by scoring the opening goal in the 12th minute, once again with the intervention of the Barcelona hero. However, the subsequent expulsion of Ronald Araujo in the 29th minute completely conditioned the game for the home team, which was fully exploited by PSG.
It was in the 40th minute when Ousmane Dembélé appeared to inflict more damage on his former team with a powerful shot that filled the Parisians with hope. Later, in the second half, "Vitinha" leveled the aggregate score to 4-4 with a powerful long-range shot that beat the local goalkeeper in the 54th minute.
Subsequently, a penalty was awarded in favor of PSG after a glaring error by Cancelo, allowing Mbappé to put his team ahead with a perfect penalty kick in the 61st minute and another goal in the 89th minute, thus sealing a very intelligent game by the Parisians, who won with an aggregate score of 4-6.
With this result, the team led by Luis Enrique will advance to the Champions League finals to face Borussia Dortmund.
