Mbappe Sends Barcelona Crashing Out of the Champions League
PSG Comeback Stuns Barca
Kylian Mbappe's brilliance inspired Paris Saint-Germain to a stunning 4-1 victory over Barcelona in the second leg of their Champions League Round of 16 tie, sending the Catalan giants tumbling out of the competition.
Despite losing 4-1 at home in the first leg, PSG rallied in spectacular fashion at the Camp Nou. After conceding an early goal to Ousmane Dembele, Mbappe equalized from the penalty spot and scored a late brace. Moise Kean added the fourth to seal the emphatic triumph.
Barca's hopes were dealt a severe blow when Gerard Pique was shown a red card in the first half. The hosts were dealt another setback in the second period when Ronald Araujo was sent off, leaving them with nine men.
The defeat marks a humiliating end to Barcelona's Champions League campaign and raises questions about the future of manager Xavi Hernandez. Meanwhile, PSG's victory sends a strong message that they are a force to be reckoned with in this season's competition.
