Paris Saint-Germain came back from behind to oust Atalanta in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals. Atalanta led for the majority of the game, having taken the lead in the first half through a Mario Pasalic strike. For a long time, it looked like Atalanta would cause an upset and send PSG crashing out of the Champions League. However, the Parisians managed to turn the Champions League encounter around in the dying stages, scoring two late goals courtesy of Marquinhos and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting to book a spot in the semis. The late win was celebrated wildly by players and fans alike, with DJ Snake also getting in on the celebrations.
