The Parisian club will be at the meeting in the semi-finals of the Champions League. Despite a complicated start on the evening of April 16, 2024 with a first goal conceded in the 12th minute, PSG was able to keep calm and take the upper hand (1-4) against FC Barcelona.
Paris Saint Germain achieved the difficult challenge of defeating FC Barcelona on their own premises by a score 1 goal to 4 during the second leg of the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Unfavorable after the defeat conceded at the Parc des Princes (3 goals to 2), the players of coach Luis Enrique were able to reverse the trend during an electric match on the Barcelona pitch by scoring 04 goals in quick succession. Getting off to a bad start at the very start of the match, Luis Enrique's men took advantage of FC Barcelona's errors to establish their authority and sign a historic comeback which allowed them to snatch the qualifying ticket for the last four of the European Champions League . The Franco-Cameroonian Kylian Mbappè lost in the first leg and gave the impression of not having reached the fullness of all his possibilities during this match. However, he stood out with a double, putting the legendary Spanish club back against the wall. Ousmane Dembelé has not gone unnoticed. He made himself heard through a realization.
PSG will face Burussia Dortmund in the semi-final
For the rest, it is up to Mbappè's teammates to reach the final four by putting Borussia Dortmund out of the running to compete in the 2nd Champions League final in their history. The two clubs know each other better; they met in the group stage. For these quarter-finals, PSG will have to thank Araujo. Because the defeat of the capital club was taking shape before seeing Ronaldo Araujo lead an opportunity until the red card in the 29th minute. From this moment PSG benefited from a numerical superiority which ended up contributing in its favor.
Dembelé spiced up the game
Scorer in the first leg, Ousmane Dembelé brought a special touch to this meeting by exploiting a cross from Barcola which ended in the back of the net in the 40th minute of play. Barcelona from this moment seemed less dangerous despite a few incursions into the opposing camp . Paris emerged victorious but did not control the match despite Barcelona playing 10 against 11.
The Catalans increased their unsuccessful offensives against the team from the capital. We must be grateful for the efforts of Donnarumma who made a double rescue. Beaten in the first leg (3 goals to 2), Paris Saint-Germain achieved a spectacular comeback by beating FC Barcelona on their own premises. The Parisian club joins the last four and will try to challenge Burussia Dortmund in the semi-finals of the Champions Leagues.
