E. Choupo-Moting has scored a goal for PSG! Assist by K. Mbappé.
GOOOOOAAALLLL!!! PSG HAVE TAKEN THE LEAD! Oh my word, what a turnaround. Mbappe got on the end of Neymar’s slick pass and kept his calm to send in a low cross with, of all people, Choupo-Moting on hand to tuck it home.
Mbappe’s introduction helped push Atalanta further back, and ultimately he is the man who has made the difference with a perfectly timed run and pass into Choupo-Moting, who could well prove to be an unlikely hero.
90' +1
That is so cruel on Atalanta, who have been brilliant, but a bit of luck has gone PSG’s way.
90'
Marquinhos has scored a goal for PSG! Assist by Neymar.
GOOOOAAAALLLL!!! PSG ARE LEVEL! Neymar gets in at the far post and puts it into the six-yard box. Marquinhos gets a toe on it, with Caldera only able to divert it in. It’s 1-1!
Neymar has missed plenty of chances tonight but in the big moment he managed to get it to Marquinhos. That being said, it may well have been a miskick.
89'
Da Riva has just come on, though he has already gone down with an apparent hamstring issue. He’ll have no choice but to stay on, however.
87'
That's a rash, wild effort from Draxler, who has blazed over from the edge of the box.
86'
Choupo-Moting rises to meet a cross from the right, but he sends his header well over the crossbar.
85'
J. Palomino gets yellow.
Neymar is barged into by Palomino down on the flank, and Atalanta’s defender receives a booking.
82'
J. Da Riva enters the game and replaces D. Zapata.
T. Castagne enters the game and replaces R. Gosens.
We’re into the closing stages, and there will be two changes for Atalanta. First, Castagne has replaced Gosens.
Zapata, meanwhile, is the other player to make way. Teenager Da Riva is on for his Champions League debut.
79'
Sergio Rico enters the game and replaces K. Navas.
E. Choupo-Moting enters the game and replaces M. Icardi.
Muriel makes up a lot of ground to get on the end of an overhit cross from Malinovskiy, but the former Sevilla striker can’t quite keep it in play.
After a disappointing performance, Icardi has made way for Choupo-Moting.
A final two changes from PSG. First, Navas has been forced off with that injury, with Rico on in his place.
Minute
Description
78'
De Roon is furious after he goes in for a tackle with Neymar, who makes the most of it. Referee Taylor did not fall for any theatrics, however.
76'
Atalanta have been camped in their own half for much of the second half, but PSG have lacked the spark to really breakthrough. The French champions have plenty of attacking talent on the field, though.
75'
L. Paredes gets yellow.
Paredes has gone into the book for a foul on Malinovskiy.
72'
J. Draxler enters the game and replaces Ander Herrera.
L. Paredes enters the game and replaces I. Gueye.
More changes for PSG, as Tuchel rolls the dice. Paredes is on, replacing Gueye.

70'
L. Muriel enters the game and replaces M. Pašalić.
Atalanta's goalscorer Pasalic has made way, with Muriel coming on.
68'
Despite their possession, PSG are yet to register a shot on target in the second half. Indeed, they have only tested Sportiello once in the entire match so far.
67'
R. Tolói gets yellow.
Toloi has become the fourth Atalanta player to receive a booking.
66'
Mbappe has wasted no time in getting himself involved, and is taking up some promising positions out on the left, with Neymar having moved into the middle. However, Atalanta have dropped back and, for now, are soaking up the pressure. There is plenty of time to go, though.
61'
Mbappe is immediately involved as he cruises down the left. He has two players to aim for in the box, but puts too much on his cross.
60'
J. Palomino enters the game and replaces B. Djimsiti.
K. Mbappé enters the game and replaces Pablo Sarabia.
And here is Mbappe for PSG! Tuchel has had little choice but to turn to the striker, who has replaced Sarabia. Can he inspire the French side?
Palomino is also on for Atalanta, replacing Djimsiti.
59'
R. Malinovskyi enters the game and replaces P. Gómez.
Changes are afoot! Atalanta have made a move, with captain Gomez making way for Malinovskiy.
57'
Ander Herrera gets yellow.
Another booking for PSG, as they begin to get frustrated. Herrera has received a caution for bundling into Gomez.
56'
Bernat could well be on thin ice, having just lunged in on Zapata. That was not a smart move after he had just received a yellow card, but he escapes with a warning.
54'
Juan Bernat gets yellow.
Atalanta threaten to break, but Bernat halts them in their tracks with a robust challenge on Pasalic, with the full-back receiving a booking.
53'
D. Zapata gets yellow.
Zapata has now gone into the book, for a foul on Kehrer.

50'
M. de Roon gets yellow.
A booking for De Room, who brought down Neymar in Atalanta's half.
48'
Djimsiti gets on the end of an outswinging corner, but a PSG defender manages to prevent the Atalanta man getting a clean header on it and his effort loops onto the roof of the net.
46'
The game is back up and running in Lisbon! Mbappe has been warming up at half-time, and PSG may well need their young star soon.
45' +2
HALF-TIME: ATALANTA 1-0 PSG.
45' +1
R. Freuler gets yellow.
Freuler brings down Herrara and receives a booking.
43'
Atalanta have not been afraid to get stuck into PSG in midfield, with Herrera unable to cement any authority on the Ligue 1 champions’ play so far, with their chances coming through quick interplay involving Neymar and the other forwards.
37'
B. Djimsiti gets yellow.
Djimsiti has gone into the book for a foul on Icardi.
36'
Neymar’s effort is on target and destined for the right-hand corner, but Sportiello had tracked it all the way and makes a relatively comfortable stop.
34'
PSG break at pace, with Sarabia playing a crisp one-two with Neymar before attempting to lay it back to Gueye. The pass is intercepted, but Gueye recovers in order to win a free-kick, just shy of 30 yards out from goal.
32'
PSG have got plenty of joy when attacking through Neymar down the left, with the forward exposing Atalanta’s high line. However, his team-mates haven't done enough to support him so far.
26'
M. Pašalić has scored a goal for Atalanta! Assist by D. Zapata.
Zapata wanted to get a shot off, but saw Pasalic in a better position and just managed to get the ball through to his team-mate.
GOOOOOAAAALLLLL!!!! ATALANTA TAKE THE LEAD! What a strike from Pasalic, who has curled a wonderful effort beyond Navas, who could only help it in. Zapata bundled the ball through to him, and Pasalic showed no hesitation. Atalanta 1-0 PSG.
24'
Neymar gets beyond Hateboer with some great footwork and drills in a low cross, but there are plenty of defenders on hand to clear it.
21'
Gueye dives in late on Gomez, handing Atalanta a free-kick in a dangerous position down the left. Gomez takes it, but Zapata’s header is directed straight at Navas.
18'
Awful from Neymar! The Brazil star gets in down the left but, with Icardi in support, he seems to get caught in two minds and – rather than shoot or pass – he sends a poor attempted cross out of play.
17'
Sarabia combines excellently with Neymar and makes a blistering run down the left. He battles with De Roon and is convinced he has won a corner, but referee Anthony Taylor awards Atalanta a goal-kick.
13'
What a save! That’s another wonderful stop from Navas, who lunged to his left to keep out Caldera’s header. It would not have counted, as Atalanta’s defender was offside, though Navas was not to know that.
9'
It has been a scrappy start. Atalanta are adept at playing on the break, with the pace of Zapata and Gomez a really useful outlet. PSG, meanwhile, are attempting to get their passing game going.
5'
Chances for both sides in the opening minutes, though it is Atalanta who can consider themselves most fortunate not to be behind. Neymar’s combination play with Icardi to get past the last defender was sublime, but the finish failed to match.
2'
Atalanta were on the attack straight away, though the move was snuffed out by PSG, who patiently worked their way forward without really testing their opposition.

KICK-OFF! After a moment of silence to pay respect to the lives lost around the world due to coronavirus, Atalanta get proceedings underway.
Hello and welcome to LIVE coverage of the first Champions League quarter-final tie, as Atalanta take on Paris Saint-Germain at Estadio da Luz. It promises to be a thriller, so stick with us for all the action as it happens!
Atalanta overcame Valencia 8-4 in the last 16 prior to the coronavirus-enforced shutdown, while PSG saw off Borussia Dortmund – coming from behind to win that tie.
Gian Piero Gasperini’s Atalanta were one of the form teams in Serie A in 2020, though their campaign ended with a 2-0 defeat to Inter on August 1. PSG, meanwhile, were crowned Ligue 1 champions after the season in France was ended early, though have only played two competitive fixtures since March – however, they were two cup finals, with Thomas Tuchel’s side coming out on top against Saint-Etienne and Lyon, respectively.
ATALANTA SUBSTITUTES: Bosko Sutalo, Jose Luis Palomino, Lennart Czyborra, Luis Muriel, Roberto Piccoli, Ruslan Malinovskiy, Jacopa Da Riva, Timothy Castagne, Raoul Bellanova, Ludovico Gelmi, Francesco Rossi, Ebrima Colley.
ATALANTA (3-4-3): Marco Sportiello; Rafael Toloi, Mattia Caldara, Berat Djimsiti; Hans Hateboer, Marten de Roon, Remo Freuler, Robin Gosens; Alejandro Gomez, Duvan Zapata, Mario Pasalic.
PSG SUBSTITUTES: Kays Ruiz-Atal, Loic Mbe Soh, Julian Draxler, Mitchel Bakker, Sergio Rico, Colin Dagba, Arnaud Kalimuendo Muinga, Leandro Paredes, Marcin Bulka, Abdou Diallo, Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, Kylian Mbappe.
PSG (4-3-3) Keylor Navas; Thilo Kehrer, Thiago Silva, Presnel Kimpembe, Juan Bernat; Idrissa Gueye, Marquinhos, Ander Herrera; Pablo Sarabia, Mauro Icardi, Neymar.
The teams are out in Lisbon, and we’re just moments away from kick-off. Is this the year that PSG final get into the final stages of the Champions League, or will Atalanta – who hail from Bergamo, one of the worst-affected areas by COVID-19 in Italy – cause an upset?
Though Neymar has been unusually wasteful in front of goal, he has been by far PSG’s most potent attacking threat, and Tuchel needs more from the rest of his side. He has Mbappe in reserve, of course.
That’s all for now. Goodbye!
It is so cruel on Atalanta, who would have been worthy semi-finalists, but they can still look back on their campaign with immense pride. Tuchel, meanwhile, may have just salvaged his job with that late comeback, though PSG will have to be much better if they are to get past either RB Leipzig or Atletico Madrid, who play on Thursday.
