Game crack

The scorer of PSG's first goal, Dembélé and Mbappé were decisive actors in the last show of the quarter-finals of the Champions League 2024 between Barcelona and the French team.

Dembélé played for the Catalan team until the last round of the Champions League and was one of the highlights of Barça's 2-1 victory over PSG in the first game, at the French side.

However, in this second game, he was on the opposite side, now defending PSG. The striker faced his former furious fans and had to deal with the pressure. His first goal, at 39, started the turnaround and he could redeem himself with the Parisian fans.

Another hero of the classification was Mbappé, who appeared at the end of the match, consolidating the victory by scoring two last goals for PSG and closing the coffin of the rival, Barcelona.
