Lisbon (Reuters) - With Paris St Germain once again flirting with Champions League failure, Kylian Mbappe shrugged aside an ankle injury to come off the bench and turn the tide as they stunned Atalanta 2-1 to reach the semi-finals for only the second time.

Mbappe picked up the knock in July as PSG beat St Etienne in the French Cup final, a trophy they would gladly trade for a first Champions League triumph, and all eyes have been on the French World Cup winner ever since.
