PSG squeaked past Montpellier 6-5 on penalties in Wednesday&rsquo;s French Cup semi-final to keep alive their hopes of ending the season with silverware.&nbsp;
Spot kicks were required after the two sides were all square at 2-2 after normal time in Montpellier. &ldquo;It was a real cup tie, they&rsquo;re never easy,&rdquo; said PSG coach Mauricio Pochettino.&nbsp;
PSG were quick off the mark, Kylian Mbappe giving them a 10th minute lead. Montpellier were back on level terms with a superb shot from Gaetan Laborde.&nbsp;
Mbappe had PSG back in front. But just as it looked as though PSG were home, forward Andy Delort nabbed the equaliser. At 5-5 Junior Sambia sent his spot-kick high leaving Moise Kean to send PSG to the final.
