Mbappe Sends PSG To UCL Semis, Barca Crash Out!
BARCELONA, SPAIN - APRIL 16: Kylian Mbappe of Paris Saint-Germain celebrates scoring his teams third goal from a penalty kick during the UEFA Champions League quarter-final second leg match between FC Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain at Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys on April 16, 2024 in Barcelona, Spain. Achraf Hakimi returned to the PSG defence after missing the first leg in Paris, while Warren Zaire-Emery and Bradley Barcola were also recalled by coach Luis Enrique.
PSG had bossed possession up to that point and they continued to do so after falling behind, but they were finding it tough to carve out clear-cut openings in the Barcelona box. However, PSG went on to equalise on the night as Barcola carved out some space on the left and sent a cross to the far post where former Barcelona winger Ousmane Dembele was on hand to smash home.
A few minutes later, PSG were afforded the chance to grab the lead in the tie from the penalty spot after Dembele has been fouled by Joao Cancelo. Kylian Mbappe stepped up and rifled his spot-kick into the top corner to put his side 4-3 up on aggregate.
