Barcelona welcomes PSG with the great advantage it gained in the first leg. However, this was a nightmare day for Coach Xavi’s students.
Barca defeated PSG 3-2 right in France. That allows the Spanish team to enter the match confidently. Even so, in the 12th minute, Barca also had the opening goal. Young star Yamal dribbled the ball very well and then crossed for Raphinha to tap the ball into the empty net.
The match between Barca (dark shirt) and PSG was tense
But while everything was going to Barca’s liking, a turning point happened. In the 29th minute, midfielder Araujo received a direct red card for a foul against Barcola. Having to play without players had a big impact on Barca. In the 40th minute, after Barcola’s cross, Dembele launched a close-range kick to equalize for PSG.
The second half was even crazier. In the 54th minute, Vitinha launched a decisive long-range shot, beating goalkeeper Ter Stegen. In the 59th minute, PSG was awarded a penalty after Cancelo fouled Dembele. And Mbappe did not disappoint the away team’s fans.
At this time, PSG has an advantage in both score and numbers. And in the 89th minute, Mbappe sealed a 4-1 victory for PSG, thereby winning with a total score of 6-4. Thanks to that, the representative of French football registered for the semi-finals of the Champions League.
