After a lively start which saw both teams probe forward in search of an early goal, the home side were awarded a free kick after Daniel Alves handled the ball just outside the area.

Lucas's set-piece delivery fell to David Luiz, who proceeded to poke the ball home and put PSG into an early lead.

Barcelona were level within a minute, however, as Lionel Messi and Andres Iniesta marauded forward exchanging passes before the Argentine curled the ball into the bottom corner.

Nevertheless, Laurent Blanc's charges were ahead once again as, in the 26th minute of the match, Marco Verratti was able to find space at the far post from a corner and head the ball into the back of the net.
