Good match in Paris tonight with a very lively and inspired PSG harassing Barca. Slowly but surely, Barca are getting a foothold in the game as the PSG intensity drops.
Just as I have written that, Draxler fires in an excellent second. He is a wonderful player. Why didn't Arsenal go and get him?

As a side issue, Barca have a brillant away kit. I don't think there is a better one in the world. Maybe there is, but I've not seen one.

 

3 for PSG! Superb second from Angel di Maria!! Di Maria and Draxler are givi
ng the normally calm Barca defence a torrid time. PSG are classy tonight.

 

Barcelona are going to have go some to come back in this tie. Could be out early this year.

 

With the players Barca have they could conjure up some magic in the second leg but PSG have been good up to now.

 

Yes if it was anyone else I would say they are out but with Barcelona they could just do it.

 

Close up of Messi and he knows Barca have been given the run around tonight Draxler is superb, tearing the right side of Barca apart. Maybe tie is catchng up with Barca. The support cast around their star players is somewhat underwhelming. PSG are much more of a unit

 

Thrashing.

 

Wouldn't mind PSG winning the CL if Sevilla don't!! Want to bet PSG against Sevilla. 4-0 now and the assist from Draxler, I think!!

 

But, but are PSG not a french Chelsea?

 

Well I think even Barcelona won't come back from this.

 

Class is class whatever the nationality!! Can see the possibility of the break-up of this Barca side with someone like City putting in a phenominal bid to get either Neymar or Messi. With Aguero going to Real or possiby Barca!!

 

I wonder how safe our Martin is after tonight.

 

Edited it for you!! Just perfect with a fine Bordeaux or a Mallorcan red.

 

Crikey.

 

Totally out classed them, no fluke, better all over the shop.

 

Emery going to do the business in Europe again?

 

So BT saying that its wasn't PSG playing well, it was Barca being rubbish.

Welcome to our world!

 

Yes, as we Saints fans know full well, it's never the team that wins by stopping the supposedly better opposition playing well. They just let us win.

 

Arjen Robben cuts in from the right, and bends one into the top corner far post. He's done it his whole career, and still is able to do it, unbelievable.
