Excited Paris Saint-Germain players celebrated tonight (Wednesday) long minutes on the pitch in Lisbon after beating Atlanta 1: 2 dramatically and advancing to the Champions League semi-finals. The celebration tonight was especially large, in light of the fact that PSG recorded the achievement on the day the club celebrates its 50th anniversary. French champions coach Thomas Tuchel came into the game knowing that a loss would likely lead to his termination of employment at the club, with Similiano Allegri being mentioned as someone likely to succeed him in the event of a loss.

The Paris players have taken control of the game from the start, with Neymar recording a huge number of misses. In the 27th minute, it was Atalanta who took the lead after Mario Pashalic scored with a great kick for the connections. The Italians managed to maintain their advantage with zeal, when from the other side the stressed PSG players did not stop missing. Towards the end, Tuchel turned to the bench, where he found Eric Maxim Shofu-Moting, who had even finished a contract with the team, and replaced his coach with a tremendous move that led to Marcinius' equalizer (90) and scored himself three minutes into extra time to give his team a first Champions League semi-final since 1995.

The amazing story with Shofu-Muting, is that the player even ended his contract in Paris on June 30, and extended his contract with Thiago Silva for only two weeks for the final tournament of the Champions League. Beyond that, the only reason the French club has ever left the shop-muting for this period of time is due to the departure of Cavani, who refused to extend his contract at the club.

0 said at the end: "For a moment I did not think about relegation. Nothing will stop me from thinking we are reaching the final. It was very difficult. We are experiencing good things, we have great staff, we are family. It was impossible to think we were relegated."

Ander Herrera added: "Everyone helped each other. We won four titles, only a united team can do it. We did what we needed against a very good team."
