Paris Saint-Germain went from frustration to natural joy in the 3rd minute before beating Atalanta 2–1 in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals.
The French club had a depressing night in the last third during the first 89 minutes, while Neymar and Kylian Mbappé were unable to put a number of quality opportunities on the net.
Atalanta set himself up to pass a goal in Mario Pasalic’s 26th minute, but after that, the Italian team found himself trapped in their own field to try to repel PSG’s advances.
Marquinhos and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting were given the final blows in Atalanta’s unexpected run to the quarter-finals with a purpose each.
PSG is the first of 4 to advance to the semi-finals of the competition, which ends in Lisbon, Portugal.
Winner: Kylian Mbappé
As a possibility lost after a lost possibility occurred, the need for Mbappé’s arrival increased.
Once in the 60th minute, the PSG had two of the most productive attackers in the global in a position to race in front of the tired defenders of Atalanta for the last 30 minutes.
