Barcelona Implode, PSG Triumph in UCL Thriller
Raphinha's Early Lead Evaporates After Araujo Red
At the Camp Nou, Luis Enrique made a triumphant return to Barcelona, but it was his former club, Paris Saint-Germain, who emerged victorious in a thrilling Champions League encounter. Kylian Mbappe inspired the French giants to a stunning 4-1 victory over the Spanish champions, securing a 6-5 aggregate triumph and a berth in the semi-finals.
Mbappe's Masterclass
After Barcelona took an early lead through Raphinha, the game took a dramatic turn in PSG's favor when Ronald Araujo was sent off in the 29th minute. Mbappe capitalized on the advantage, scoring twice in the second half to spearhead PSG's comeback. Lionel Messi added a third before Mbappe completed his hat-trick, sending Barcelona crashing out of the competition.
Xavi's Nightmares
Despite Barcelona's early dominance, Xavi's tactical decisions proved costly. Araujo's red card disrupted their rhythm, while their failure to contain Mbappe led to their downfall. The result leaves Barcelona with no major silverware this season, a disappointing end for the Catalan giants.
PSG's Resurgence
PSG, on the other hand, are riding a wave of momentum. Mbappe's heroics have propelled them into the Champions League semi-finals, and they will be among the favorites to lift the trophy. The French champions have found a winning formula, and they will be a force to be reckoned with as the season progresses.
