⚽ PSG and Barcelona Seal Spots in Champions League Semi-Finals

Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona have punched their tickets to the UEFA Champions League semi-finals, surviving tough second-leg challenges on a thrilling night of European football.

🔵 PSG Edge Aston Villa in a Thriller

Fresh off clinching the Ligue 1 title, PSG arrived at Villa Park with a 3-1 first-leg cushion—and quickly looked to put the tie to bed. First-half goals from Achraf Hakimi and Nuno Mendes gave the French giants a commanding 5-1 aggregate lead.

But Aston Villa weren’t going down without a fight.

Youri Tielemans pulled one back with a deflected strike, before John McGinn and Ezri Konsa sparked a furious second-half comeback. Konsa’s composed finish brought the aggregate score to 5-4, but PSG held firm in the final minutes to secure their place in the last four.

🔴 Barcelona Hold Off Dortmund’s Push

Over in Germany, Barcelona were stunned 3-1 by Borussia Dortmund, but their emphatic 4-0 first-leg victory at the Camp Nou proved enough to see them through with a 5-3 aggregate.

Despite Dortmund’s valiant effort, which included goals from Niclas Füllkrug, Marco Reus, and Julian Brandt, Barcelona’s strong first-leg showing gave them the breathing room they needed to return to the semi-finals for the first time in several seasons.

🏆 What’s Next?

• PSG will now face the winner of the tantalizing Real Madrid vs. Arsenal showdown.
• Barcelona are set to clash with whoever comes out on top between Inter Milan and Bayern Munich.

🔥 Semi-Final Outlook: The Champions League is shaping up for an epic finish, with Europe’s biggest names still in the hunt. Will PSG finally claim their long-awaited European crown? Can Barcelona complete their revival under Xavi?

Stay tuned—things are about to get even more exciting on the road to Wembley!
