Barcelona 1-4 Paris Saint-Germain 4-6 over two legs
Barcelona, who took the lead 3-2 away in the first leg, got off to a great start at home. In the opening 12 minutes, Yamal ate Nuno Mendes' low cross, Raphinha grabbed the penalty and scored, and Barcelona led 1-0 and 4-2 on aggregate.
However, in the 29th minute, Arauhola was sent off for a single knife, and Barcelona played 10 against 11. In the 40th minute, Barcola assisted Dembele to break the old home in consecutive games, and Paris equalized 1-1, falling behind 3-4 on aggregate.
In the second half, Barcelona's situation was more passive, with a tactical corner kick in Paris in the 54th minute, Achraf crossed, Vitinha shot from a distance, Paris overtook 2-1, and the total score equalized 4-4!
In the 56th minute, Xavi complained about the penalty and kicked over the sideline plate and was sent off by the referee. A few minutes later, the assistant coach complained about the decision and was sent off, and Barcelona were gone. Dembele was tackled by Cancelo to win a penalty, Mbappe scored, and Paris overtook 5-4 on aggregate!
In the 89th minute, Paris counterattacked three consecutive shots to kill Barcelona, and Mbappe scored twice in front of the goal, Paris won 4-1, and the aggregate score was 6-4 successfully overturned, returning to the semifinals after two seasons.
Previously, in the 2019-20 season, Paris reached the final for the first time in history, was eliminated by Manchester City in the semi-finals of the 2020-21 season, and in the 2021-22 and 2022-23 seasons, Paris was eliminated by Real Madrid and Bayern in the round of 16.
When the aggregate score was 2-4 behind, Paris did not mess up, patiently waited for Barcelona to make a mistake, the invisible Mbappe scored twice in the first leg, plus Dembele who scored and made a point, and Paris made a perfect comeback away. Enrique led Barcelona to a 6-1 reversal of Paris last time, and today he led Paris to a reversal of Barcelona, which is also a magical reincarnation.
On Barcelona's side, the team conceded 4 goals in a single game in the European home knockout round for the second time, and the last time they conceded 4 goals at home was also against Paris (1-4 in the 2021 1/8 finals), and the third time they won away in the first leg but were overturned at home in the second leg. The financial losses were even more severe, with Champions League exit + missing the Club World Cup, missing out on at least 62.5 million euros.
Borussia Dortmund 4-2 Atletico Madrid 5-4 over two legs
Dort's biggest nerve of the season - the Bundesliga is only fifth, but they have repeatedly performed amazingly in the Champions League, beating Paris to top the group stage, and last night they performed another miracle in Westphalia, overturning Atletico Madrid to reach the semi-finals.
Dort lost 2-1 in the first leg and Morata missed a solo shot in the first half, with Brandt and Maatsen scoring twice in the 34th and 39th minutes to give Dort a 2-0 lead. In the second half, Hummels made an own goal, Correa came off the bench, and Atletico chased it to a 2-2 draw.
In the 71st and 74th minutes, Phil Krueger and Sabitzer exchanged passes, and finally Dort won 4-2, reversed Atletico Madrid 5-4 on aggregate, and returned to the Champions League semi-finals after 11 years.
The last time Dort reached the semi-finals was in 2012-13, when the coach was still Jurgen Klopp, who led Dort all the way to the Wembley final, losing 1-2 to Bayern. And this season's Champions League final is also played at Wembley Stadium, will history repeat itself?
The semi-finals were played in the top half of the tournament, with Borussia Dortmund and Paris meeting in a narrow way. The two teams have previously played each other in Group F of the Group of Death, Paris 2-0 at home and 1-1 away, and it was not until the final round of the group stage that Group F produced the teams that qualified: Borussia Dort first and Paris second. Who has a better chance of reaching the final this time?
The other two groups of 1/4 finals will be staged tomorrow morning, the first leg Manchester City away to Real Madrid, Bayern away 2-2 Arsenal, and Mars collides with the earth. After Barcelona and Atletico Madrid were eliminated one after another, Real Madrid has become the only seedling in La Liga.
Brother Meow predicted that Dort was right last week, but he didn't expect Paris to eliminate Barcelona. What about tonight, Manchester City, Bayern, Real Madrid, Gunners?
