Mbappe and Dembele Propel PSG to Champions League Semifinals in Win Over Barcelona

Kylian Mbappe scored twice to lead Paris Saint-Germain to a stunning 4-1 comeback victory over Barcelona, securing a spot in the UEFA Champions League semifinals.

The French forward converted a second-half penalty and then scored a late rebound, as PSG overturned a 3-2 deficit from the first leg to win 6-4 on aggregate.

Barcelona started strongly, with Raphinha scoring a close-range goal in the 12th minute after a skillful play from Lamine Yamal.

However, their momentum was halted when Ronald Araujo was sent off for a foul on Bradley Barcola in the 30th minute, reducing Barcelona to 10 men.
