PSG reached the final of the Champions League for the first time in its fifty years of history, after beating German RB Leipzig 3-0 this Tuesday in Lisbon, in the first semifinal of the top European tournament.
The Brazilian Marquinhos (minute 13), the Argentine Ángel Di
María (42), and the Spanish Juan Bernat (56) signed the many Parisians. Di
María was also the author of the assistance in the goals of his teammates.
Paris Saint-Germain will meet in Sunday's final at the
Estadio da Luz in the Portuguese capital with the winner of the second
semi-final, another Franco-German duel, which will take place on Wednesday
between Lyon and Bayern Munich.
It had been twenty-five years since PSG had played a semifinal of the highest European tournament and then Milan blocked their way to the final.
This time he broke the limit of the penultimate round and is already one step
away from lifting the 'Orejona', the great obsession of its Qatari owners.
After suffering the quarterfinals against Atalanta (2-1), in
which PSG had to come back with two goals in injury time, the semifinal match
was much calmer.
Striker Kylian Mbappé,
who played the last half-hour against the Italians, started for the first time
after his ankle injury at the end of last month and Di María, absent in the
quarterfinals due to suspension, returned to the team in the best way with his
goal and his two assists.
For its part, RB Leipzig, the executioner in the round of 16
of the current European runner-up Tottenham and the quarterfinals of Atlético
de Madrid, awakens from his dream. He will be left with the consolation of
having lived the best European season of his barely eleven years of life.
