Keylor Navas stopped a Messi penalty at a crucial moment in this second leg.

From our special envoy to the Park,

This time it's over.

Four years after a comeback of sad memory, PSG eliminated Barça and qualified for the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

He will still be able to thank the immense Keylor Navas, author in the first period of the decisive stop which changed the evening.

San Keylor

Keylor Navas, best recruit in the history of PSG version Qatar?

We will have to ask ourselves the question one day, and particularly after his crazy match on Wednesday.

Because if Messi had returned his penis at the very end of the first period (1-1 at that time after a pawn from Mbappé and a

scud

from La Pulga from 30 meters), history could have stammered.

But Saint Keylor is there and Paris can sleep comfortably.

This is how they started the match, with the trace of the pillow printed on the face and a defensive block lower than sea level, leaving for a time the specters of the past to float on the Park.

More fear than harm in the end, but a good booster shot for the quarterfinals.

The "back-up"?

Four years and two days after that night of horror at Camp Nou, it can be said, the remorada is dead and buried.

Mazeltov!

And if the concept will endure in the history books, let's at least bet that the Parisians have earned the right to be left alone with it for a while.

Oh, not everything was perfect on Wednesday, but failing to shine, PSG were ordered not to liquefy.

He did not do it.

It's never too late to grow up.

A Barça at the end of the cycle

If the Catalans do not have to be ashamed of their match, this elimination from the 8th still looks like a change of era.

With a few scoundrels on the decline (Piqué, Busquets), a Leo Messi who has never been so close to the boarding lounge - towards Paris, City?

- and more to play this season if not a Copa del Rey final, this Barça seems to have lived.

At the Parc des Princes, quite a symbol.
