On the big rectangle table placed in the middle of the home dressing room at the Parc des Princes, Kylian Mbappe and Presnel Kimpembe are jumping as much as they can. Water is thrown on them, Sergio Rico joins them, as does Idrissa Gueye and Rafinha. Other players and members of staff are hitting the table in rhythm while chanting: "We are in the semis! We are, we are, we are in the semis!"
Marquinhos, in his immaculate white hoodie, is there too. He was out injured and missed Tuesday's 1-0 loss to Bayern Munich -- a result good enough to see Paris Saint-Germain progress to the next stage of the Champions League on away goals -- but we could hear his voice from the stands, encouraging his teammates.
