PSG, Dortmund stage rallies to make semis

Kylian Mbappe scored twice as Paris Saint-germain reversed its first-leg loss at home to return to the Champions League semifinals with a 4-1 win over Barcelona on Tuesday.

PSG took advantage of a firsthalf red card to Barcelona defender Ronaldo Araujo to advance 6-4 on aggregate and keep its title hopes alive in Mbappe's last season in Paris.

Former Barcelona forward Ousmane Dembele and Vitinha also scored for PSG after Araujo was sent off in the 29th minute for fouling Bradley Barcola to stop a breakaway.

Barcelona had opened the scoring with a goal by Raphinha in the 12th, but the visitors took control with the man advantage and didn't let Barcelona get back into the game.

“I feel very proud,” said PSG coach Luis Enrique, a former Barcelona player and coach. “We showed what we wanted to do here today. We conceded a goal, but we stayed intact mentally. We continued to play, to attack. We did everything we could to be better than Barcelona. My players showed a lot of character, a lot of enthusiasm, a lot of desire.”

In the other quarterfinal on Tuesday, Marcel Sabitzer scored late and set up two goals to send Borussia Dortmund into a semifinal matchup with PSG with a helter-skelter 4-2 win over Atletico Madrid.

After losing the first leg of their quarterfinal 2-1 in Madrid, Dortmund had to come from behind twice over two legs to advance 5-4 on aggregate.

Julian Brandt opened the scoring to level the tie before Sabitzer set up Ian Maatsen to give Dortmund a 2-0 lead on the night.

Atletico coach Diego Simeone responded with three changes at the break and they all paid off. A Mats Hummels own goal and goal from substitute Joaquin Correa put the Spanish side back in front on aggregate.

Then Sabitzer set up Niclas Fullkrug in the 71st minute for the Germany forward's first goal after nine scoreless games, and Sabitzer scored himself three minutes later to send Dortmund into the last four.

“Such nights are special, this Champions League season is special,” Brandt said. “To see all these happy faces here in the stadium is pure happiness.”
