PSG Reach Champions League Semis, Mirror Barcelona's Epic Remontada

History Repeats with Unforgettable Night at Parc des Princes

Unthinkable Comeback: PSG Overcome First-Leg Deficit

Paris Saint-Germain have etched their name in football history once again, pulling off a remarkable comeback to reach the UEFA Champions League semifinals. After losing 3-2 in the first leg against Real Madrid, the French giants turned the tide at the Parc des Princes, overturning the deficit and punching their ticket to the final four for the first time since 2021.

Inspired by a stunning performance from Kylian Mbappé, who scored a hat-trick, PSG erased the first-leg disadvantage in the space of 30 minutes. The lightning-fast forward terrorized Madrid's defense, scoring the equalizer in the 39th minute and giving PSG the lead with a brilliant volley in the 61st minute. The comeback was complete when Mbappé netted his third in the 74th minute, sending the home crowd into raptures.

PSG's triumph echoes Barcelona's legendary "Remontada" against PSG in 2017. In that unforgettable encounter, Barcelona overcame a 4-0 first-leg deficit to win 6-1 at Camp Nou, progressing on away goals. PSG's victory on Wednesday night marked a similar upset, with the French side overcoming a three-goal disadvantage to advance to the semifinals.

Despite Barcelona's valiant efforts to stage a comeback of their own in this year's matchup, PSG proved too strong, securing their victory with a late goal from Mbappé in the 88th minute. The result marks a historic moment for PSG, who have now matched Barcelona's iconic achievement and secured a place in the Champions League semifinals.
