Write them off at your peril - Haaland, Mbappe, Bellingham will star in UCL says Ancelotti

Paris Saint-Germain produced a stunning comeback on a thrilling night in the Champions League to dump Barcelona out at the quarter-final stage 6-4 on aggregate.

After the first leg Barcelona brought a one-goal lead into the match and opened the scoring in the night with a fortuitous touch from Raphinha beating Gianluigi Donnarumma at the near post.

PSG looked to get back in the game and were gifted the initiative after a mistimed challenge from Ronald Araujo saw the defender sent off inside the first half and hour.

That red card changed the momentum of the match and Ousmane Dembele took advantage to pull PSG level on the night before a long-ranged strike from Vitinha equalised the aggregate scores.

The visitors then won a penalty in the second half with Kylian Mbappe calmly slotting in home before putting the icing on the cake with Paris’ fourth in 89th minute.

78 mins: Great footwork from Raphinha to create room for a low ball across the box but Lewandowski isn’t able to reach it at the back post and the ball flies out for a goal-kick.

73 mins: CHANCE! Lewandowski forces a great save from Donnarumma but Marquinhos does superbly to react first and clear the ball away as the hosts look to slam home the rebound.

69 mins: Barcelona are ahead in the tie but haven’t taken their foot off the gas one bit. A corner is recycled and Marquinhos rises well to meet a cross from the left, but Ter Stegen comes off his line well to claim the ball.

GOAL! Barcelona 1-3 PSG (Mbappe, 61 mins - 4-5 agg.)

Mbappe makes no mistake!

The Frenchman fires high and into the left side-netting and Ter Stegen has no chance. PSG lead on aggregate and Barcelona have a mountain to climb with ten men on the pitch.

Barcelona 1-2 PSG (4-4 agg.)

59 mins: PENALTY! From bad to worse for Barcelona as Cancelo brings down Dembele inside the box.

The referee doesn’t hesitate and points to the spot.

Barcelona 1-2 PSG (4-4 agg.)

56 mins: POST! Barcelona almost hit back immediately as Gundogan rattles the outside of the left post from inside the box.

On the touchline, Xavi is fuming and, just like Araujo, he is shown a red card and will have to head to the stands.

Ben Fleming16 April 2024 21:20

GOAL! Barcelona 1-2 PSG (Vitinha, 54 mins - 4-4 agg.)

PSG lead are we are level in this quarter-final tie!

Vitinha is given far too much space on the edge of the box and rifles a low effort past Ter Stegen and into the far corner. A deserved second for the Parisian side who have turned this tie on its head.
