Barcelona unraveled.
An early goal from Raphinha gave Barca a huge two-goal advantage in the second leg of their Champions League quarterfinal tie with Paris Saint-Germain. But then Ronald Araujo was sent off for a last-man challenge.
PSG used their numerical advantage to great effect and responded with a goal each from ex-Barcelona winger Ousmane Dembele and Vitinha before Kylian Mbappe scored twice to engineer a 6-4 aggregate victory. Barca boss Xavi was also shown a red card between Vitinha's strike and Mbappe's first goal.
The finish from Vitinha, a devastating hit following a short-corner routine, was the pick of the bunch.
