UEFA Champions League Quarter Finals : Another thriller game week in Europe.
In Tuesday's second leg of their Champions League quarterfinal matchup with 10-man Barcelona, Kylian Mbappe of Paris St. Germain scored twice in the second half to lead his team to a 4-1 comeback triumph and a 6-4 aggregate victory. Following their 3-2 victory in Paris and their early 1-0 lead thanks to a goal from Raphinha, Barca faltered shortly before the half-hour mark as Ronald Araujo, their final man, was sent off for fouling Bradley Barcola.
Just before halftime, former Barcelona forward Ousmane Dembele tied the score for the visitors. In the second half, Vitinha and Mbappe completed the victory. It was a night to forget for Xavi's men on their home turf. The Barcelona manager was not at all happy with the red card decision of Ronald Araujo. Dembele delivered a Man Of The Match performance on hi return to Barca's home ground.
PSG will now play Borussia Dortmund in the semi-finals after the German team defeated Atletico Madrid. PSG turned the tie around by taking advantage of the home team's errors, after failing to go past the round of 16 in the previous two seasons and finding themselves pressed against the ropes by a dominant Barca team.
