PSG ace Kylian Mbappe was thrilled with victory at Barcelona on Tuesday night.

Barca collapsed 4-1 at home in the second-leg of their quarterfinal, with Ronald Araujo sent off for the visitors. Barca were eliminated 6-4 on aggregate.

Mbappe scored twice on the night and said: "I am proud to be here (in Paris) from the first day. It is not because there are good and bad moments that my pride suffers.

"The pride of playing for this club, of representing the club from the capital of my country, it is something special for me, who grew up here. To experience a night like this as a Parisian is great. We have taken another step, but we have to stay calm.

"My dream is to win the Champions League with PSG. Tonight we beat a great team, and we are going to try to get to Wembley. We played a great game as a team, as a collective. We worked during six days from the first leg with the idea that we were going to do it, that we were going to win here.

"It's a great day for everyone at the club."

He added, "I have already said that, even if we had lost, I would be proud to be a Parisian. Now, of course, on nights like this, the pride is even greater. We are very happy, we have beaten a team we wanted to beat Congratulations to the team.

"The fans? It's also for them, they have traveled a lot, they have helped us a lot with organizing the game, the tickets and all that, it has been an ordeal. So we are happy for them. I hope they all arrive healthy and safe home."
