In what is likely to be the France star's final season with the team, PSG overcame its first-leg deficit at home with a 4-1 victory over Barcelona on Tuesday to move up 6-4 on aggregate and maintain its chances of winning a first European crown. Kylian Mbappé scored twice in the victory.
PSG also had goals from former Barcelona striker Ousmane Dembélé and Vitinha. They capitalized on Ronald Araujo, a defender for Barcelona, being sent off in the 29th minute for fouling Bradley Barcola while attempting to halt a breakaway. With a goal from Raphinha in the 12th, Barcelona had taken the lead and was never able to recover. However, the visitors used the man advantage to seize control of the game. After Araujo fouled Barcola, the referee called him the last defender, therefore Xavi had to substitute teenage striker Lamine Yamal with defender Iñigo Martínez.
