PSG Knock Barcelona Out of Champions League
Kylian Mbappe Inspires Parisian Giants
April 16, 2024 | By Michael Dominski
Luis Enrique returned to Barcelona to haunt his former club as Paris Saint-Germain secured a pulsating 6-4 aggregate victory over the Catalan giants in the Champions League quarter-finals.
Kylian Mbappe was the star of the show for PSG, scoring twice in a 4-1 second-leg triumph at the Camp Nou. The French forward's goals put the game beyond Barcelona's reach, despite a valiant effort from the hosts.
Barcelona took the lead through Raphinha in the 27th minute, but Ousmane Dembele and Vitinha turned the game around for PSG before half-time. Sergio Busquets was sent off for the home side in the second half, and Mbappe took advantage with two clinical finishes to seal the victory.
The result means that PSG reach the Champions League semi-finals for the first time since 2020. They will face either Bayern Munich or Manchester City in the last four.
