Barcelona triumph over PSG with Raphinha's double strike
Barça book Champions League semi-final berth
Raphinha shines with two goals
Barcelona secured a thrilling 3-2 victory at Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday, thanks to a brace from Brazilian forward Raphinha. The victory sends Barcelona to the Champions League semi-finals for the first time in five years.
Raphinha opened the scoring in the 28th minute with a superbly curled shot into the top corner. PSG equalized through Kylian Mbappé just before half-time. However, Raphinha restored Barcelona's lead in the 58th minute with a clinical finish from Ousmane Dembélé's cross.
Lionel Messi scored PSG's second in the 87th minute to set up a tense finish. But Barcelona held on for a famous victory that secures their place in the Champions League semi-finals.
Barcelona vs PSG was a highly anticipated clash between two of the most decorated clubs in European football. Both teams were looking to reach the semi-finals, and the match lived up to its billing.
Raphinha was the star of the show for Barcelona, scoring two superb goals. The Brazilian has been in excellent form since joining Barcelona from Leeds United last summer, and his performance against PSG was another reminder of his quality.
Barcelona will now face either Inter Milan or Bayern Munich in the Champions League semi-finals. The first leg will be played on April 18, with the second leg set for April 25.
