Lisbon (AFP)
Stunning! Led until the 90th minute, Paris SG overthrew Atalanta Bergamo (2-1) Wednesday in Lisbon thanks to Marquinhos and the improbable hero Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, winning the first semi-final of the Champions League of PSG since 1995, the club's 50th anniversary.
Long tasteless after a goal from Mario Pasalic (27th), the Parisians equalized at the end of the suspense thanks to Marquinhos (90th), then won thanks to Choupo-Moting (90th + 3) served by Kylian Mbappé, finally reaching the last four after seven consecutive years to stumble on the eighths or the quarters. PSG will face Leipzig or Atlético Madrid on Tuesday August 18 in the semifinals of this shortened format tournament played behind closed doors.
