PSG 2-3 Barcelona: Barca withstood a second-half comeback to stun the hosts in Paris and take a narrow lead back to Spain

Mikel Arteta expresses the biggest lesson from 2-2 draw against Bayern

Raphinha scored twice to help Barcelona secure a 3-2 win at Paris Saint-Germain in their Champions League quarter-final first leg.

Barca dominated proceedings early on against the French side still looking for a first Champions League crown and led through a Raphinha strike in the 37th minute.

However, PSG piled on the pressure after the break and levelled in the 48th minute through a stunning Ousmane Dembele strike into the top corner before going ahead when Vitinha stroked the ball in two minutes later.

But Raphinha’s deft volley in the 62nd minute brought the match level again, before Andreas Christensen headed in from a corner 13 minutes from time to give the Spanish side a narrow advantage going into next week’s second leg.

PSG 2-2 Barcelona, 68 minutes

Kylian Mbappe beats three men in quick succession, snaking between the yellow shirts, but Bradley Barcola is dealt with by Joao Cancelo as he tries to keep the flow of the move.

Ooh - Vitinha clips the heels of Robert Lewandowski as Barcelona switch the field. No booking, though - Anthony Taylor waves a couple of protesting visiting players away. The free kick is in a good position - Raphinha might fancy this...

PSG 2-2 Barcelona, 65 minutes

A booking for Vitinha as Anthony Taylor whistles for a foul. Barcelona spring an attack soon after but Nuno Mendes is across in front of Ilkay Gundogan before the midfielder can size up a shot.

GOAL! PSG 2-2 Barcelona (Raphinha, 62 minutes)

Instant impact!

A simply sublime pass from Pedri! He’s barely been on the pitch a minute as the midfielder turns inside the PSG half, urging a teammate to make a run, Raphinha comes from out-to-in and bursts into a central area between defence and goalkeeper, the back four’s relatively withdrawn position necessitating a perfect pass.

But Pedri provides exactly that, clipping marvellously over the top. Raphinha is simply obliged to finish it off, using the outside of his boot to beat Gianluigi Donnarumma and square affairs.

PSG 2-1 Barcelona, 59 minutes

Kang-in Lee takes a tumble in the Barcelona box, but has lost control of the ball before Joao Cancelo’s challenge.

That’s Lee’s last act - Warren Zaire-Emery is the latest talented teenager into the action.

A double switch for Barcelona: Joao Felix and a returning Pedri replace Lamine Yamal and Sergi Roberto.

PSG 2-1 Barcelona, 57 minutes

Barcelona are battling to stay in this first leg. PSG are riding a wave of noise from the home fans, Ronald Araujo twice blocking in a timely manner as the hosts threaten again. It appears Xavi is readying a change or two.

PSG 2-1 Barcelona, 55 minutes

A flick of the fingers and off the crossbar! It’s all gone helter-skelter in Paris, Bradley Barcola careering forward and forcing Marc-Andre ter Stegen to tip o’er the top.

PSG 2-1 Barcelona, 53 minutes

Nearly a leveller for Barcelona instantly! It’s a golden opportunity for Robert Lewandowski, one he’d normally gobble up. A floated cross is ripe to be attacked but Lewandowki is almost over-eager in doing so, turning his head to direct the ball goalwards before it has arrived. The header goes awry as the Pole clangs to the floor.

GOAL! PSG 2-1 Barcelona (Vitinha, 51 minutes)

And just like that...

What a turnaround! The Parc des Princes is jumping and PSG are in front! Barcelona are dragged all out of shape as PSG play intricately up the left, Fabian Ruiz’s cute little pass sending Vitinha rushing on. The Portuguese midfielder finishes smartly past Marc-Andre ter Stegen, who picks the ball out of the back of his net for a second time in a matter of minutes.

GOAL! PSG 1-1 Barcelona (Ousmane Dembele, 49 minutes)

A stunning equaliser from Ousmane Dembele!

What a hit! Sweet as sugar from Dembele. The ball bounces his way ater Kylian Mbappe gets to the byline and cuts back. Dembele eschews a shooting opportunity on his right foot to instead load a rifle on his left, a bullet beating Marc-Andre ter Stegen for pace and nearly tearing the net from the goalframe. PSG are level!

PSG 0-1 Barcelona, 47 minutes

Bradley Barcola has gone out to the right of PSG’s frontline, with Ousmane Dembele now taking up a more central position.

Vitinha launches an effort from range that troubles the patrons beyond Marc-Andre ter Stegen’s goal.
