PSG beats Barcelona to reach UCL semifinals
Paris St Germain's Kylian Mbappe scored twice in the second half to help guide his side to a 4-1 comeback win at 10-man Barcelona in their Champions League quarter-final, second leg to wrap up a 6-4 aggregate victory on Tuesday.
Raphinha gave Barca the lead in the 12th minute but they were reduced to 10 men just before the half-hour mark after last man Ronald Araujo was shown a red card for a foul on Bradley Barcola.
Former Barcelona forward Ousmane Dembele fired home for the visitors in the 40th to equalise on the night and Vitinha put them ahead with a strike from the edge of the box in the 54th.
Joao Cancelo fouled Dembele in the 61st minute to concede a penalty that Mbappe fired into the top corner.
As Barca tried to find a goal to take the game to extra time, Mbappe made the most of a counter attack to score from close-range and wrap up a semifinal place against Borussia Dortmund.
