X reacts as PSG reach Champions League semi-finals with Remontada revenge
Paris Saint-Germain are into the Champions League semi-finals for the first time since 2021 after pulling off both a comeback on the night and on aggregate against Barcelona, evoking memories of 2017's La Remontada — just the other way around.
Prior to kick-off, Barcelona led 3-2 from the first leg and came onto the pitch against a backdrop of noise from just over 50,000 fans inside the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys, delighted to witness the first Champions League quarter-final tie being played in the city since 2019.
But PSG's thumping 4-1 win left those supporters distraught and the French contingent elated.
These are two of the biggest names in world football, clubs who have spent insane amounts of money in the transfer market. But youth was the order of the day from the off.

◉ 17-year-old Pau Cubarsí
◉ 16-year-old Lamine Yamal

It took just 12 minutes for Barcelona to break the deadlock and extend their aggregate advantage. Raphinha scored the goal after Lamine Yamal breezed past Nuno Mendes like he wasn't there.
