BARCELONA 1-4 (4-6) PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN: Goals from Ousmane Dembele, Vitinha and Kylian Mbappe secured PSG's place in the semi-finals of the Champions League

Paris Saint-Germain booked their place in the Champions League semi-final for the first time in three years after producing a sensational comeback to beat Barcelona 6-4 on aggregate.

And as Barcelona were pushing to level, PSG caught them on the counter attack and put the game to bed. After seeing an effort saved moments before, Mbappe lashed the ball into the bottom corner to secure a 4-2 victory on the night and a 6-4 win on aggregate, sparking wild scenes among the travelling support.Araujo red card Just as Barcelona looked like they were cruising through to the semi-final, their task was made a whole lot harder when they were reduced to 10 men.

Having netted in the first leg, he slotted the ball home from a tight angle after Bradley Barcola pulled the ball across the area. That staged for an exciting second half ahead and it didn't take long for PSG to take the lead on the night and level on aggregate, as Vitinha fired into the corner from just outside the box.

The Brazilian has been in excellent form since cementing his place in the Barcelona side. He now has four goals and two assists in his last six matches and is showing exactly why he is ahead of Ferran Torres and Joao Felix right now, although he did miss a BIG chance to equalise in the tie late on.
