There was plenty of reason for the jubilation - despite a 1-0 defeat to Bayern Munich on the night at the Parc des Princes.

PSG may be wondering how they didn't score in their home stadium with ten attempts - including two with which Neymar struck the woodwork.

The result ensured a 3-3 aggregate score, with PSG's treble in Munich securing their passage on away goals and burying the demons from the 2020 final.

Neymar, Mbappe and their PSG pals kept their celebrations respectfully muted on the pitch after the full-time whistle.

But behind closed doors, there was nothing holding them back.

Owner Nasser Al-Khelaifi and sporting director Leonardo congratulated the players as they made their way through the tunnel back to the changing room - complete with plenty of roars and high-fiving.

Inspirational captain Marquinhos, who scored then limped off in the first leg, was unable to play on Tuesday night.

But he ensured he would not miss out on the scenes while Leandro Paredes went round kissing Ander Herrera and Keylor Navas on the head.

Then star-man Mbappe took over leading the party by getting up on the table surrounded by players, coaches and support staff who emptied water bottles over him.

Mbappe shared a stunning photo with Kimpembe, still wearing their boots, mid-jumping with water flying around them and pure joy on their faces.

Rafinha added one of the Brazilian boys, posing for the cameras with Neymar and Marquinhos.

And PSG fans had even more reason to celebrate when Neymar committed his future to the club before Al-Khelaifi assured supporters the £198million man and Mbappe 'have no excuse to leave'.

The world's most expensive footballer told TNT Sports Brazil: "I don't think this is even a topic anymore, I obviously feel very comfortable, at home at PSG.

“I feel happier than before.”

Manager Mauricio Pochettino was not at the thick of the chaotic scenes in the dressing room - but was no doubt ready for a lie down after a stressful 90 minutes masterminding his side's progress.

He said: "When you are on the touchline, really close to the pitch, it is not easy to enjoy it but I try.

"Every time, I am calm outside – but inside you have the stress of the competition. That is the adrenaline that we love to feel, but tonight was a fantastic game.

"I missed this adrenaline when I was at home. This is the greatest club competition, so obviously I was nervous. On the inside, I was boiling over.

"I'm happy for the players, the staff and the club – for the president and Leonardo as well. It's nice to share this moment of happiness together."
