+++ Update ticker +++

Update from August 13, 10 a.m .: A crazy final phase in the quarterfinals between Atalanta and Paris Saint-Germain ! The outsider from Bergamo played well, was even able to take the lead and held it into the final minutes , but the score was made without the iron will of the French.

First it was Marquinhos in the last regular minute of the game, then the ex-Hamburger Eric-Maxim Choupo-Moting struck in stoppage time - Thomas Tuchel's team , who was sitting on a cool box with a rail on the sideline , turned within three minutes * who have favourited the game and destroyed the semi-final dreams of the Italians. Now Paris will meet the winner of the game Atlético Madrid against RB Leipzig in the semi-finals of the tournament on August 18th.

PSG v Atalanta: memories of the 1999 drama - Paris after 25 years in a European Cup semi-final

Update from August 12th, 11:30 pm: How bitter is that ?! Atalanta Bergamo is about to make it into the semi-finals of the Champions League and is torn from all dreams very late. The Bergamasken led 1-0 up to the 90th minute and conceded the 1: 2 within four minutes . One or the other will certainly have memories of the Champions League final in 1999 , when FC Bayern was plunged into the valley of tears in a similar way. The sensation was within reach for Atalanta, but perhaps the internationally inexperienced club will grow on this drama. A Twitter post put it in a nutshell: "PSG won the game, Atalanta our hearts."

Paris Saint-Germain could hardly believe their luck, the French were on the verge of embarrassment and were allowed to celebrate at the end. Neymar and Mbappe, who are otherwise responsible for the goals, were the preparers this time. Defensive ace Marquinhos and the substitute ex-Schalke Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting were the executors. The first entry into the semi-finals of the premier class in 25 years could be a decisive turning point for the PSG project and coach Thomas Tuchel. In any case, such a race to catch up releases forces. The Tuchel team is already dreaming of the final against Bayern, who will face Barcelona in the quarter-finals on Friday. Before that, PSG must first eliminate the winner from the game between RB Leipzig and Atletico Madrid.

Atalanta Bergamo - PSG in the live ticker: Crazy drama in stoppage time - Atalanta's dream burst

FINAL WHISTLE : What a drama in stoppage time! Atalanta is on the verge of a sensation and will throw away the victory in a few minutes. PSG turns the game around and, after 2-1, is back in the semi-finals of the Champions League for the first time in 25 years and meets the winner between Leipzig and Atletico Madrid.

90th minute +3: TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR for PSG! This time Choupo-Moting pushes the ball over the line. Mbappe is unlocked via the left, plays its speed and lays across. Unlimited joy in the Tuchel team and mourning in Bergamo.

90th minute: TOOOOOOOOR for PSG! Marquinhos pushes the ball over the line. After a chip ball, Neymar comes to the ball and immediately plays in the middle where Marquinhos only has to hold his foot. Bitter for Bergamo!

87 minutes: Substitute Julian Draxler tries from a distance, his shot flies into the night sky of Lisbon.

85th minute: The desperation at PSG is growing, the last five minutes begin. Tuchel tries what he can to whip his team forward again.

82nd Minute: Atalanta provides little relief, but that is also not necessary. PSG may get more deals, but none of that is really mandatory. It takes a brainstorm from Neymar or Mbappe.

79th Minute: An ex-Schalke should tear it! PSG coach Tuchel throws in ex-Schalke Maxim Choupo-Moting for the final phase, the invisible Icardi has to give way. Navas can no longer and is replaced in goal by Sergio Rico.

76.Minute: Neymar dribbles through half of the Bergamasken's back team and then only gives off a shot. It's getting tight for Neymar & Co.

74th minute: First chance for Mbappe! Not paying attention once and the French are off. Mbappe is unlocked via the half-left and then wants to surprise Sportiello in the short corner, but the Atalanta keeper was careful.

73rd Minute: A moment of shock at PSG! Goalkeeper Keylor Navas is injured and needs treatment. The goalkeeper from Costa Rica bites his teeth and carries on.

70th minute: The goalscorer leaves. Mario Pasalic has done his job and is substituted for Luis Muriel. An offensive sign. The Colombian is a striker and is set to give the PSG millionaires the final blow.

69th Minute: Mbappe is not a factor yet! The world champion has already tightened a few times, but Atalanta is careful and provides the lightning-fast French with at least two men.

66th Minute: Atalanta is now deep in their own half and lets PSG come. Will it go well until the end? Atalanta's style of play is naturally offensive.

64th Minute: A lot of midfield banter: The action is currently only taking place between the penalty areas, Atalanta can only be right.

60th minute: Changeover time! Mbappe comes for the last half an hour and is supposed to bring about the change, he replaces Sarabia. On the other hand there is a double change. Very bitter for Atalanta: Captain Papu Gomez has to be replaced after a bad kick by Herrera, Malinovskyi comes for him. In addition, Palomino replaces the yellow-prone Djimsiti.

58: Minute: Atalanta with the huge chance. After a header extension Djimsiti comes to the conclusion and misses the box by only one meter.

54th Minute: Atalanta makes that ripped off. The mountain masks interrupt the flow of the game again and again with small fouls and thus prevent PSG from developing. The downside: Atalanta has already collected four yellow cards and must be careful.

51st Minute: Is that already desperation? Neymar bolts a free kick from 30 meters into the crowd without motivation. After all, a corner pops out.

50th Minute: PSG came out of the break highly motivated, but there is not much to see. Atalanta annoyed the stars from Paris with his clever way of playing.

47th Minute: Both teams come out of the cabin unchanged. So the wait for Mbappe continues.

Kick-off for the second half! It goes on.

HALF TIME ! Hard to believe, Atalanta looks like the more mature team and leads against PSG at the break with the beautiful goal of the Mainz-born Mario Pasalic 1-0. The Tuchel-Elf limps into the break and has to come up with something as quickly as possible. Is Mbappe coming in at halftime?

42nd Minute: Uuuhhh that was dicey. Neymar runs a back pass and completes half left. But the ball goes way over it, Neymar looks determined, but also very impatient. Good luck for Atalanta!

41st Minute: Half chance for PSG, after all. Atalanta stands very tall and is passed over with a long ball over the left. Sarabia passes the ball flat inwards, but the ball rolls through the fives without a player getting to it.

38th Minute: The Bergamasken fight for every meter and for an entire region that had to suffer a lot during the corona peak. The PSG millionaires around Neymar seem to have not yet understood that everything is at stake today. The game mode in Portugal does not allow a second leg.

35th Minute: Good free kick opportunity for PSG. Neymar flicks the ball over the wall from a good 22 meters, but there was no pressure behind it. Symptomatic of the French game, the last bite is missing.

26th minute: TOOOOOOOOOR for Atalanta! Mario Pasalic hits beautifully. Press blow on the penalty area and the ball slips through to Pasalic, who flicks the ball with his left into the left corner.

24th minute: PSG is now in the game and shifts the action more and more to half of the Bergamasque. Neymar gets too much freedom on the left, so the Italians have to take a closer look.

19th minute: Now PSG again. Neymar gets a little too much space on the left and moves into the box. But the Brazilian finishes too hastily, it could have been dangerous if it had been played.

18.Minute: There is not much to be seen of PSG forward except for the chance from Neymar at the beginning. The French show their respect for Atalanta's offensive.

12.Minute: Bergamo has another chance to head the ball. Caldara extended the ball with the back of her head on the PSG goal, but again Navas shows a strong save. However, Caldara was previously offside.

11. Minute: The first chance for Atalanta! Hateboer comes to the right in the six-yard area to the header. Strongly parried by PSG keeper Navas.

10th minute: You can tell in the initial phase that Atalanta has more competitive practice than PSG.

6. Minute: Atalanta is not hiding! The Bergamasken press early and try to control the game. It looks pretty good so far, but watch out for the French counterattacks.

3rd minute: huge thing for Neymar! The Brazilian picks up the ball at the center line and runs freely towards the keeper. But he flicks the ball right past. A hundred percent chance!

1st minute: It starts in the Estadio da Luz! The ball rolls.

Update 8:58 p.m.: Atalanta Bergamo met Manchster City in the group stage (1: 5, 1: 1). Coach Pep Guardiola said after the game: "Playing against Atalanta is like going to the dentist." Let's see what PSG coach Thomas Tuchel has to say after the game.

Update 8:55 p.m.: It starts in five minutes in the Estadio da Luz. All Bergamasque and all of Italy will stand behind Bergamo today. Atalanta is the last remaining Italian club in the premier class after the elimination of Juventus and Napoli in the round of 16. According to SZ , since 2010 every newborn in Bergamo and the surrounding area has been given an Atalanta jersey as a birthday present, 36,000 little people have already been dressed in this way in the city's largest hospital.

Update 8:40 p.m.: PSG have to do without big names. In addition to the ailing Mbappe, who is just sitting on the bench, the heart of midfield Marco Veratti is missing against his Italian compatriots and Angel Di Maria is suspended. In addition, right-back Thomas Meunier, who moved to Borussia Dortmund, and striker Edinson Cavani, who was even associated with FC Bayern, left the club in the summer.

Update 8:15 p.m.: The lineups are there! As expected, the ailing star striker Kylian Mbappe is sitting on the bench at PSG, on which the German international Julian Draxler also takes his place. Ex-Schalke Thilo Kehrer starts as a right-back, with Maxim Choupo-Moting, the third ex-squire sitting on the bench. With Juan Bernat there is also an ex-Bayern star in the starting line-up.

At Atalanta, the German Robin Gosens starts again on the left wing. Otherwise there are hardly any surprises on either side.

Update 8:00 p.m.: Both teams come to Lisbon with a lot of self-confidence. PSG celebrated two more titles in national cup competitions at the end of July after the championship, which was prematurely canceled in France due to Corona. Now it should finally work in the premier class.

Atalanta Bergamo is also coming to Portugal with a powerful tailwind. The Bergamasken finished third in Serie A, just five points behind champions Juventus. Atalanta remained undefeated until the last match day (0-2 against Inter) 19 competitive games in a row and missed the 100-goal mark in Serie A by just two goals.

PSG against Atalanta Bergamo in live ticker: PSG finally wants the handle pot - is there a curse on the Tuchel team?

Update 7:10 p.m.: Paris Saint-Germain has been chasing the dream of triumph in the premier class in vain in recent years. The fact is that the French only made it to the semi-finals of the Champions League once and that was 25 years ago . In the previous season, the Tuchel-Elf embarrassed themselves in the quarter-finals after a 2-0 away with 1: 3 in the second leg against Manchester United. Three years ago PSG lost 6-1 in Barcelona and were eliminated despite a 4-0 first leg. For Paris, the game mode with only one decisive game should be an advantage, as the French lost the second leg when they were eliminated in the last six years.

But Atalanta Bergamo should also have a chance in only one game against the overpowering Paris . Especially since the Bergamasken are still unbeaten in four duels against French teams and celebrated three wins.

Update 11.42 a.m.: Does he play or does he not play? We're talking about superstar Kylian Mbappe . The attacker was last absent due to an ankle injury, but has been training with the ball again in the past few days.

Presumably, the German coach Thomas Tuchel will initially leave the 21-year-old on the bench and only replace him in an emergency so that he is really fit for a possible semi-final. But let's just wait and see - we'll know more in eight hours.

Lisbon - The two opponents Paris Saint-Germain and Atalanta Bergamo found the quarter-finals * of the premier class in two completely different ways . While Paris was strolling through the group stage, things looked completely different for Gian Piero Gasperin's team .

Anyone who had told the Atalanta Bergamo players at the beginning of November 2019 that they would be in the Champions League quarter-finals * would have only received a tired smile in response. In the not too tough Group C with Manchester City, Dinamo Zagreb and Shakhtar Donetsk, they were at the bottom of the table with zero points and 3:10 goals after three matchdays , but then the turning point came. After a 1-1 draw against the then reigning champions of the Premier League * Manchester City, there were two zero victories, which is why they slipped into the knockout round with seven points .

After the furious 4: 1 and 4: 3 success stories against Valencia in the round of 16 , a completely different caliber is now waiting for the northern Italians. Paris Saint-Germain became champions in the season that was canceled by twelve points , with one game less than their rival Marseille. Thomas Tuchel's team now wants to win the Champions League for the first time * and is under far more pressure than their opponents before the game against Bergamo .

The Qatar-funded star ensemble around Neymar and the currently injured Kylian Mbappé walked through the group stage and won every game in the group stage with the exception of a draw with Real Madrid . They won twice each against Galatasaray and Club Brugge and swept the Spanish capital city 3-0 from the field in the first leg *.

Against Borussia Dortmund * there was a 2-1 defeat in the first leg of the last sixteen, but the result against Thomas Tuchel's ex-club in the second leg in the deserted Parc de Princes in mid-March was 2-0 and thus moved into the last eight Teams one.

Good news!

Kylian Mbappe trained with a ball today for the first time since his injury 😁
