Kylian Mbappe stars as PSG reach Champions League semis
Luis Enrique's Barcelona knocked out of Europe by former club
Mbappe scores twice as PSG overturn two-goal deficit
Kylian Mbappe was once again the hero for Paris Saint-Germain as they reached the Champions League semi-finals with a thrilling 6-4 aggregate victory over Barcelona.
The French forward scored a penalty and a late clincher as PSG overturned a two-goal deficit from the first leg to seal their place in the last four.
Luis Enrique's Barcelona had taken the lead in the second leg through Ousmane Dembele, but Mbappe's penalty levelled the tie on aggregate.
Lionel Messi then put Barcelona back in front from the spot, but Mbappe struck again in the 85th minute to send PSG through.
It was a remarkable comeback from PSG, who had been outplayed by Barcelona for much of the first leg.
But Mbappe's brilliance proved to be the difference, as he once again showed why he is one of the most exciting young players in the world.
PSG will now face Bayern Munich or Real Madrid in the semi-finals, while Barcelona's hopes of winning a first Champions League title since 2015 are over.
