MBAPPE BRACE KYLS OFF 10-MAN BARCA

KYLIAN MBAPPE netted twice to see off 10-man Barcelona as Paris Saintgermain mounted a stunning comeback.

Barca boss Xavi was sent off for booting a UEFA sign as frustrations grew, before Mbappe converted a penalty and grabbed an 89th-minute clincher to seal a semifinal berth.

It took Mbappe’s tally to 48 goals in the Champions League and set up a last-four clash with Dortmund. Both sides emerged from Newcastle’s group.

It was an incidentpacked game full of fury with Luis Enrique’s side coming back from a two-goal deficit on aggregate to win, with the game turning on Ronald Araujo’s controversial red card (circle).

Ex-leeds winger Raphinha pinged home the opener in the 12th minute to give the Catalans a commanding lead.

Raphinha did not know much about the finish off his shin after Lamine Yamal’s trickery and pace down the right wing.

But five-time winners Barcelona saw the game slip away. Araujo saw red when beaten to the ball by Bradley Barcola, who was caught in a tussle of arms just outside the box.

That left Xavi’s 10 men an hour to protect a two-goal aggregate lead but, instead of rising to the challenge, they crumbled.

Tension rose in the Camp Nou when Ousmand Dembele levelled the scores on the night after 40 minutes with a brilliant back-post finish from Barcola’s whipped cross.

Vitinha struck the leveller with a thunderbolt from 28 yards after being left free to shoot.

Joao Cancelo then made a crazy tackle on Dembele inside the box to allow Mbappe to win the match from the spot (top).

Mbappe rifled home another from close range at the death after a series of saves and came close to a hat-trick.
