Paris Saint-Germain did the unthinkable as they beat Barcelona 4-0 at home. Former Real Madrid winger Angel di Maria opened the scoring in the 18th minute with a wonderful free kick which left Marc-André ter Stegen stranded to his spot. Julian Draxler doubled the score in the 40th minute, with a sublime finish giving Barcelona’s goalkeeper the eyes.
Di Maria capped off his night with another brilliant finish from the edge of the box as he curled one past the outstretched hands of Ter Stegen. Cavani made in 4-0 in the 71st minute, as PSG held on to their four-goal advantage which they will now defend in the second leg at Camp Nou.
Barcelona themselves were poor on the ball, and their famed front three of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar didn’t turn up for the big night. Here is how Twitter Reacted to the lopsided scoreline.
