For the first time in club history, Paris Saint-Germain will compete in the Champions League final. The French side defeated RB Leipzig 3-0 on Tuesday in the single leg of the Champions League semifinal in Lisbon.
Goals were scored from unconventional places with Marquinhos, Angel Di Maria and Juan Bernat getting on the scoresheet, while Neymar and Kylian Mbappe remaining noticeably absent. That doesn’t mean they weren’t involved, of course, as their presence alone allowed their teammates to get free while attacking and putting the ball behind net. Neymar was awarded an assist on the second goal of the match with a beautiful no-look heel chip that miraculously found Di Maria.
More notable than the goals of the game themselves is what this moment means to this French side. For years, PSG have been a club categorized (perhaps correctly) by their inability to succeed in European competitions rather than their on-field talents. Now, they have a chance to be the heroic version of this team that breaks that string of failure, and recategorizes this team to be one that can be dominant in Europe.

Paris Saint Germain knew who was the best player of Barcelona and took him away. It was not Messi 🧐
That’s Di Maria version I expected since Benfica . I thought he gonna be a World Cup champion
For BSG they made a good progress as a team they are not individuals talent anymore
1 like =1% chance for psg of winning the champions league
Can someone tell me the commentator’s name? He was also commentating in 2005 Liv-Milan final
Neymar finally matured into the footballer everyone wanted him to become. Happy for the guy. Top 3 in the world in my eyes. Besides Ronny and Messi. 1. Lewa 2. Immobile 3. Neymar
I say Fire all VAR refs for every important game not whistled correctly. Compromises everything on the field of play
Neymars gotta fix his shit shooting from the last two games
Wow. Haven't seen PSG play with that level of confidence in the UCL knockout stage since they beat Barca 4-0 in 2017
El mejor dimaria
Respect to RB Leipzig. What they have achieved in such a short time is amazing. It takes clubs decades to achieve what they have.
Micah Richards just saw Paredes today. He’s played for Boca Juniors and Roma before PSG. He always plays for Argentina. LOL.
These guys are seeing what weve seen through this ligue one season
This panel is world class, props to CBS.
Are we just gonna ingnore how good Thiago Silva played today
Last 2 goals were silly mistakes by Leipzig. Bayern won't make the same.
Not having Timo Werner finally caught up to Leipzig, but even with him PSG would most likely have won anyway.
RB literally gifted all 3 goals to PSG. Terribly stupid mistakes that cost them the match. I don’t see Bayern making those same mistakes. 3-1 to the Bavarians.
They are seriously trying to say that's a foul on mukuele what a joke. Like seriously you could brush against someones sleeve and they'd say it was a foul. Funny thing is when these guys were playing they were flying into tackles and taking people out of the game
Keepers need to stop trying to play the ball when you don't have a clear way to play the ball… Common sense please!
I cant believe Roberto was questioning the call for a foul on the third goal. There was very minuscule contact, and not enough to force him to trip . You can see that he took another step with his left foot before he slipped and went down. Such an asspull from Roberto smh.
