Pain follows gain for Barca

PSG 2 Barcelona 2

Lionel Messi gave Barca a half-time lead, a goal owing much to Dani Alves’ extraordinary pass, before departing with a hamstring injury at the interval.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic controversially equalised against his former club and though Xavi’s late penalty looked to have ensured a first-leg lead for Barca, Frenchman Blaise Matuidi made it 2-2 with a deflected goal with the last kick of the match.
