    Good grief Barca are playing like we do when there's a chance to do something amazing.

    Superb finish by Cavani and what a run from Munier. Straight out of the bestselling book 'How to bomb forward down the right' by Professor K. Walker.

    4-0 FT. Miserable evening for Barca. The armchair pundits can put away their vaseline and kleenex for another season, it would seem.

    PSG surely a decent shout to win the tournament outright? Quality in every department and, perhaps more importantly, a sheer expert in European competition game management in Emery.

    If they can play like that regularly, then they can win it. They tore Barca to pieces. Very impressive and superb entertainment.

    Good to see a manager get his tactics spot on.

    If only we had a manager who did this.

    Cue stories of Barcelona getting Dele, Rose, Walker, Toby, Kane, Vertongen and Pochettino

    The way they played tonight even Fazio would be an improvement.

    I really enjoyed this one.I don't like watching Barca at anytime but I watch PSG (and Real!). PSG hadn't played like that all season even though they were getting results,but if it continues...watch out Europe!

    They tried to talk a Barca victory even before the game kicked off.The tv knowalls must be scratching their heads and looking at the moon!

    Emery is the quintessential tournament manager though. Achieved incredible things in Europe with Sevilla but they were 'meh' in the league. Doing pretty much the same at PSG now. They waltzed the league last year but are now trailing Monaco by 3 points and about 20 goals. Some managers can set their teams up for the 90-minute 'sprints', others have perfected the 38-game 'marathon'. Very few have mastered both.

    Thank the heavens Arsenal didn't sign him. Their central midfield of Matuidi - Rabiot was poetry in motion.

    Arsenal really do have a fantastic 'was going to sign for us' XI

    It's always good to see Barca get thumped(unless they play an English team)

    Can I add one other measure to "how you know when you are old". Aside from policemen looking young etc., can I say that this hat looks particularly stupid? I will no doubt now be informed that it is incredibly trendy and costs a fortune. Yeah, well I'm a bit overtired at 3 in the morning.

    Saw the PSG-Barca higlights. All four of those goals were class.
    To score any of them in a game is great, but all four is just wow.

    Also interesting to see that any Barca MF pressing was bypassed
    by PSG passing quickly/tidily in CM with the resulting empty void
    between there and the Barca goal.
