French giants Paris Saint-Germain secured the most runner-up in the 2019/20 Champions League tonight with a dominant victory over RB Leipzig.
Thomas Tuchel’s men faced off with the wonderful package of the Leipzig tournament a long time ago, in the first of two semi-finals.
The PSG, of course, entered the crash as a favorite to advance, the Ligue 1 champions were also driven by Kylian Mbappé’s return to full form.
Leipzig, however, can be taken lightly, with the German look hitting the masses by putting Atletico Madrid to the sword to reserve his position in the Final-4.

In the end, however, at the Estadio du Luz, the elegance of the PSG was too complicated for Leipzig to handle.
A very good offense demonstrated through the latter in spite of everything allowed Tuchel’s team to win 3-0.

Di Maria then became a goalscorer at a time before halftime, while a follow-up confusion from Leipzig saw Neymar’s smart film prepare the Argentine for an undeniable ending.

And any hope of comeback at the time was paid off with 56 minutes on the clock, while some other very good functionality of Di Maria welcomed through Juan Bernat, to complete the scoreboard of the night.
As such, PSG’s European dream is still alive and well, with the Parisians in position to face one of Bayern Munich or Lyon in the centerpiece on Sunday.
After their impressive victory, a series of statistics have since stood out online, many of which surround the stars of the French giants:
