Kylian Mbappe notched a brace as Paris Saint-Germain staged a stunning comeback victory to book a spot in the Champions League semi-finals at the expense of Barcelona.
The Frenchman scored two goals in the second half as PSG beat La Blaugrana 6-4 on aggregate across two legs.
Mbappe, who was a pale shadow of his usual brilliant best in the first leg, scored his first goal of the evening from the spot to put the Ligue 1 leaders ahead on aggregate before rattling home from close range to seal victory and ultimately helping PSG qualify for the last four, per the BBC.

PSG erase the memory of infamous collapse
Sports Brief also reported that Kylian Mbappe and PSG capitalised on Ronald Araujo's red card, leading Barcelona to play with 10 men for over an hour.
The Ligue 1 leaders secured a 4-1 victory on the night and a 6-4 aggregate win under Luis Enrique's leadership.
This victory seems to finally erase the memory of their infamous collapse against Barcelona in 2017. PSG now eyes a second Champions League final appearance in five seasons.
