Kylian Mbappe scored two goals to help Paris Saint-Germain come from behind and beat 10-man Barcelona 4-1, advancing to the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League.

The French team overturned a 3-2 home loss with a 6-4 aggregate win. Barcelona took the lead with a goal from Raphinha after a great play by Lamine Yamal on the right side.

The hosts were deserving of their two-goal lead in the match, but things took a turn for the worse when Ronald Araujo was sent off for a foul on Bradley Barcola.

PSG capitalized on this opportunity, with Ousmane Dembele scoring to equalize just before halftime. In the second half, Vitinha scored a great goal to put PSG ahead, and Mbappe extended their lead with a penalty.

Mbappe then scored again to seal the victory and set up a semifinal match against Borussia Dortmund.
