Paris St-Germain scored twice in stoppage-time to seal an incredible comeback against Atalanta and reach the Champions League semi-finals for the first time in 25 years.

There was just 149 seconds between both goals in the last moments. Neymar looks mighty relieved after missing those early chances, but Kylian Mbappe changed the game for Tuchel’s side.

A night of frustration for PSG forward Neymar looked set to ensure more continental disappointment for the French champions as Atalanta led through Mario Pasalic.

But Neymar laid on a 90th-minute equalizer for Marquinhos and substitute Kylian Mbappe teed up former Stoke striker Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting to slide in the winner.
