It is Borussia Dortmund who await PSG in the semi-finals and this tasty rematch of the stages.
Dortmund trailed 2-1 in the draw but never trailed tonight, winning 4-2 in Germany.
This is the result of Dortmund’s season and a huge sadness for Atleti.

Go to Paris Saint-Germain.
Memorable for all the right reasons until 2017.
After that I’ll go to bed.
It’s over!
90 7′ Barcelona 1-4 PSG (4-6 on aggregate)
We are in the seventh and final minute of second-half stoppage time. There are sixty seconds left in Barcelona’s UCL campaign, sixty seconds before PSG are in the semi-finals.
It’s not that a goalkeeper who has conceded 4 is a candidate for his team’s MOTM, but Ter Stegen looks like it.
His kicks bounced back tonight, and he simply made a wise save from a full extension to prevent Mbappe from completing a shot into the most sensitive corner from distance to seal a hat-trick.

It will be Barça’s worst home defeat since. . .
February 2021, when PSG won 4-1 in the first leg of the Champions League of 16 at the Camp Nou.
Mbappe scored 3 that night.
Gerard, a former Barca player and youth coach, speaking to Movistar TV in Spain, says Barca “played well and possibly wouldn’t do much damage. “I wouldn’t be so sure, not in either case. . .
Wild celebrations as Mbappé kills equality. Demons are being exorcised with this shift. And the excitement of the reactions, from Marquinhos’ punches to the PSG substitutes’ bench showing up on the pitch to join in the celebrations, reflects that.
History of PSG and Luis Enrique: PSG come back from a Champions League draw for the first time from one position.
Luis Enrique will be the first former coach of the club to eliminate them.
A certain irony in the sealing goal when Kounde, who had defended Mbappé so well with both legs, cut the ball off him after Ter Stegen made a few saves (including one from Mbappé in a one-on-one).
Imagine if they held the four quarter-finals of the Champions League in other time slots so you could watch them all.
Unfortunately, the generation of watches is complex enough to make this possible.

90 1′ Barcelona 1-4 PSG (4-6 on aggregate)
Seven minutes for Barça to make a remarkable comeback against PSG. They want two goals. . .
Oh Barça. . . Mbappé and Asensio were supposed to score the decisive goal and failed to do so.
But Kounde’s attempted clearance, De Jong, gave Mbappe another chance, from inside the box, that he would never miss.
89′ Barcelona 1-4 PSG (4-6 on aggregate)
A few seconds after Lewandowski almost equalized, Mbappé intentionally let go in the opposite direction!His first shot was blocked, but after some chaos in the box, the ball came back to him and this time he didn’t miss, heading towards the near post to send PSG into the semi-finals now!
88′ Barcelona 1-3 PSG (4-5 on aggregate)
Lewandowski lets himself go on purpose! He has Ferran Torres next to him, but he himself aims for the goal. Marquinhos makes a very important block, stops his shot and waves his arms at a birthday party as if he had just scored one himself.
Ferran Torres is with Lewandowski but you can’t blame the striker for backing himself.
We are entering the final minutes. What a fabulous match, and if PSG pull it off, it would obviously be a way to exorcise the pain of La Remontada seven years ago.
But if this proves anything, it’s that even a few minutes can mean there’s still a long way to go.

85′ Barcelona 1-3 PSG (4-5 on aggregate)
Joao Felix wins a free kick in the dangerous area, ideal for a cross into the PSG box.
The camera shows a Barça fan in the crowd who can’t bear to look at this, covering his eyes and rocking back and forth.
Raphinha puts his delivery in the box. Ter Stegen picked up the ball but couldn’t win it back, but Lewandowski couldn’t redirect the ball towards goal. Anyway, the offside flag is raised after the game.

Barca want to leave, and their last two substitutes reflect that reality, as Joao Felix and Fermin Lopez update Joao Cancelo and Frenkie de Jong.
