PSG Storm Through to Champions League Semis After Clinical Display at Camp Nou
Barcelona, Spain – Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) put on a masterclass in the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie against Barcelona, dismantling the Spanish giants 4-1 at Camp Nou to secure a convincing 6-4 aggregate victory.
The Blaugrana started brightly, taking an early lead through Rafinha in the 12th minute. However, their prospects were significantly affected when Ronald Araujo was shown a straight red card midway through the first half, leaving Barcelona with a monumental task.
When Dembele scored in the 40th minute, the game was tied at 4-3. He headed home Bradley Barcola’s cross.
PSG came back from the break with a renewed determination. A remarkable long-range goal from Vitinha in the 54th minute not only restored their aggregate lead but also shifted the momentum in their favor, before a penalty converted by Kylian Mbappe put them firmly in control. The French forward wasn’t done yet, adding another goal in the dying moments to seal the deal.
This emphatic victory sets up a mouthwatering semi-final clash against Borussia Dortmund, who themselves edged past Atletico Madrid.
