They have shown tenacious fighting spirit and unrivalled strength.

It is worth mentioning that this match also sparked controversy over the referee's decision.
Some netizens questioned whether Cancelo had actually committed a foul, believing that the referee's decision was unfair.
But it was also pointed out that the referees only enforce the rules of the game and their decisions should be respected.
As the game progressed, Barca's predicament deepened.
In the 61st minute, Cancelo tackled Dembele in the box, and the referee decisively awarded a penalty, which sparked controversy on the pitch.
A netizen named Football Critic left a message on social media: This penalty is too subjective! Obviously it was normal physical contact, but the referee gave a penalty.
This is so unfair for Barca! Another fan, known as True Fan, took the opposite view: Cancelo's tackle was clearly a violation and the referee was completely correct.
Barcelona don't make any more excuses! Then, Mbappe calmly stood on the penalty spot and sent the ball into the net with a precise kick to establish the leading position for Paris.
The goal sparked a chorus of cheers from the Parisian fans, while the Barcelona fans were even more frustrated.
A netizen named a football enthusiast wrote on the forum: Mbappe's penalty is really wonderful!
However, Barcelona's unfavourable situation does not end there.
At this time, Xavi on the field was dissatisfied with the referee's decision, lost control of his emotions, and was finally sent off with a red card.
This scene once again sparked heated discussions among netizens.
A netizen named Stadium Spectator commented: Xavi's emotional loss of control is completely self-inflicted! Players should calmly respond to the referee's decision, instead of yelling like a child.
Another fan, Voice of the Fans, said: "The referee's red card for Xavi was too harsh!"
To sum up, the penalty resulting from a foul by Joao Cancelo and Xavi's red card have made Barca's predicament even worse.
This series of incidents not only affected the outcome of the game, but also raised questions among fans about the referee and the fairness of the game.
At the last moment, Mbappe attacked again, received an own goal assist from a defender, and easily scored the goal, completely ending the suspense of the game.
Grand Paris won 4-1 and advanced to the last four of the Champions League.
In the next round, Grand Paris will face Borussia Dortmund, who will give their all for a chance to reach the final.
Not knowing if fans who like Paris Saint-Germain know the evolution of their jersey, the Paris Saint-Germain 2022-23 home jersey is sponsored by Nike, the new jersey blends tradition and modernity, redesigning the design that is widely known at the Parc des Princes, with a large central stripe flanked by two pinstripes of the club's three historical colours: blue, red and white.
For the first time, the names of the partners on the club's jersey appear on Qatar Airways and GOAT.
In recent years, the Qatar Airways logo has appeared in the centre of the jersey, with the logo of GOAT, a next-generation lifestyle retail platform, located on the left sleeve of the jersey.
The players' jerseys, as well as the fans' editions, are made from 100% recycled polyester, which is made from used plastic bottles.
As soon as this news was released, it immediately sparked heated discussions among fans.
On social media, a fan known as Football Fanatic gave his opinion: The jersey design for the new season is simply amazing!
Another fan, known as Football Fangirl, said that the shirt was emblazoned with the Qatar Airways and GOAT logos, highlighting PSG's strong ties with its partners, as well as the club's success in commercial operations.
In addition to the jersey design, fans also expressed their appreciation for the material and environmental awareness of the jersey.
A netizen named an eco-friendly fan left a message saying: Jerseys made of 100% recycled polyester not only reduce the burden on the environment, but also improve the quality of the jerseys.
This environmental awareness is commendable!
However, there were also some netizens who made some criticisms about the jersey design.
A netizen named Jersey Taster said: Although the overall design is good, I think the stripe design on the jersey is a bit messy and lacks integrity.
It is hoped that the club will be able to pay more attention to detail in its future design.
This match is not only a ball game, but also a legend of counterattack, and Mbappe and his teammates have shown the world their strength and will with practical actions.
Let's look forward to the next exciting matchup, and the excitement in the Champions League will never stop!
