LISBON (Reuters) - Paris St Germain coach Thomas Tuchel let out a scream of joy and relief as his team grabbed two late goals to beat Atalanta 2-1 on Wednesday and take the French club into the Champions League semi-finals for just the second time.

The intensity of the German coach's reaction was intensified by the fact that, with an ankle injury he picked up last week, Tuchel was forced to sit and watch on an ice-box for most of the game with his leg strapped in a 'moon boot'.
