Paris Saint-Germain sealed their place in the Champions League semi-finals on Tuesday night, visiting and defeating Barcelona 4-1, turning around the defeat recorded in the first leg of the 'quarters', at the Parc des Princes, where they had lost 3-2.

However, the Catalans' party did not last long, since, in the 29th minute, Ronald Araújo saw a straight red card, for bringing down Bradley Barcola when he was isolated on his way to the goal, and, in the 40th, Ousmane Dembélé scored against his former team, to restore equality to the result.

In the second half, the protagonists were... Portuguese. In the 54th minute, Vitinha unleashed a shot 'from the middle of the street', to leave the tie equal. Seven minutes later, João Cancelo committed a penalty on Ousmane Dembélé, which Kylian Mbappé took advantage of to score.

Already on the verge of the final whistle, the French international and ended the doubts, so Paris Saint-Germain will meet, in the next phase of the biggest European club competition, with Borussia Dortmund, who, at the same time, left behind Atlético de Madrid, by an aggregate score of 5-4.
