• PSG and Borussia Dortmund win thrilling Champions League quarter-finals

  Kylian Mbappe struck twice as Paris St Germain capitalised on the dismissal of Barcelona’s Ronald Araujo to qualify for the Champions League semi-finals with a 4-1 win in the second leg.

  Barcelona ran out at the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys armed with a 3-2 triumph from their first meeting in Paris and when Raphinha capitalised on Lamine Yamal’s skilful approach work to fire the opener, they had sight of the last four.

  But a setback came in the 29th minute when defender Araujo was sent off for tripping winger Bradley Barcola on the edge of the area, VAR confirming the on-field decision for a red card.

  The pressure built on the home goal and PSG hit back through Ousmane Dembele in the 40th minute before Vitinha drilled the French champions into the lead on the night.

  Barcelona’s frustration extended to their manager Xavi, who was sent off for kicking some water bottles, and the Spanish club’s misery was complete when Mbappe was on target from the penalty spot before adding a late second for a 6-4 aggregate win.

  PSG will face Borussia Dortmund in the penultimate round after the German club overturned a 2-1 deficit from the first leg to topple Atletico Madrid 5-4 on aggregate.

  In another pulsating quarter-final, Dortmund went 2-0 up through Julian Brandt and Ian Maatsen before a Mats Hummels own goal and Angel Correa’s strike levelled the score.

  Atletico were in the driving seat but the hosts responded magnificently with Niclas Fullkrug and Marcel Sabitzer hitting the target to ignite celebrations at the Westfalenstadion.

• Michael Skubala proud of Lincoln performance in win at Oxford

  Lincoln boss Michael Skubala labelled as “unbelievable” his team’s crucial 1-0 win at Oxford.

  The Imps kept their season alive with a resolute defensive performance and a victory thanks to Danny Mandroiu’s 47th-minute penalty after Ruben Rodrigues was adjudged to have fouled Ben House.

  The win enabled Lincoln to leapfrog Blackpool into seventh place in League One, just two points behind Oxford with two games to go.

  Skubala said: “We were unbelievable – we have a special group here. We played for the shirt, you could see that.

  “I can’t really pick anyone out, we were collectively fantastic and I’m just so proud of them.

  “We said to them before the start ‘let’s just keep it alive and then see what the pressure might do’ and we’ve done that.

  “We knew we couldn’t come here and dominate the ball, Oxford have some very good players.

  “But we thought we could catch them on the counter and hurt them and the players carried out the game plan to perfection.

  “It was a great penalty from Danny Mandroiu. He was as cool as ice.

  “The way we ran the clock down was perfect.”

  Lincoln’s win came despite losing Reeco Hackett in only the fifth minute to a bad arm injury.

  They also had substitute Dylan Duffy sent off for a second yellow card in the 83rd minute, when he fouled Marcus Browne, but the 10 men held out.

  Oxford manager Des Buckingham was unhappy with the penalty award.

  He said: “I’ve watched it back and it’s as clear as day…. Ruben Rodrigues won the ball.

  “So, yes, I’ve got complaints about the penalty because it’s a key moment and in the end that’s what has decided the outcome of the game.

  “I think we played well enough, especially in the first half, to feel we should have won the game – we created a couple of big opportunities.

  “If we keep presenting opportunities like the ones to Tyler Goodrham and Mark Harris I’m sure they’ll take them.

  “But we’d scored 13 goals in the last three games, maybe we had used up our share.

  “We’re in a strong position with two games to go. So I’m not going to stand here and keep moaning about the penalty – we’ve just got to refocus for Stevenage at home on Friday night.

  “I’m disappointed the performance here hasn’t given us the result because we definitely deserved to get something from this game.”

• Portsmouth make long-awaited return to Championship after beating Barnsley

  Conor Shaughnessy struck late on as Portsmouth secured the League One title and promotion to the Championship with a 3-2 win over Barnsley at Fratton Park.

  Pompey knew one point would return them to the second tier following a 12-year absence, but they were up against it after Devante Cole and John McAtee scored for the play-off chasing Tykes either side of Kusini Yengi’s equaliser.

  However, the hosts got the job done courtesy of Colby Bishop’s 83rd-minute penalty and Shaughnessy’s last-gasp effort.
