Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting had scored only eight goals in just under two seasons since joining Paris Saint-Germain from Stoke but he was in the right place to tap home the winner against Atalanta in a Champions League quarter-final the Ligue 1 side looked set to lose.

Choupo-Moting arrived in the box to turn home a Neymar cross in injury time, just minutes after Marquinhos had equalised after Mario Pasalic had scored the opener for Atalanta before the break. The striker, who came on with 11 minutes to play, could not hide his delight but his gaze has already turned to the prospect of winning the final.
