Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting the hero as PSG leave it late to stun Atalanta

The French side, who have so often fluffed their lines at the business end of the competition in recent years, will face either RB Leipzig or Atletico Madrid in the last four.

Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting came off the bench to fire Paris St Germain into the Champions League semi-finals as Atalanta’s fairytale came to a heartbreaking and dramatic conclusion.

The Serie A side were literally within seconds from a famous victory at the Estadio da Luz in Lisbon when Marquinhos bundled home an equaliser to set the stage for Choupo-Moting to win it 2-1 in a dramatic finish.
