Angel di Maria celebrates his goal
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.
If @PSG_English beat @FCBarcelona today, then we can only assume that the gods no longer hate us and Trump will soon retire. #PSGFCB — Dallin Greenhalgh (@Dallingreenhalg) February 14, 2017
On Marco Veratti’s wonderful performance at the heart of midfield.
I've always wondered how in the world #Verratti covers all that ground. He's a magician but also a warrior. That makes him special #PSGFCB — Vince Van Genechten (@VVGenechten) February 14, 2017

Barcelona fans when it was only 3-0.
Are Manchester United scouting this winger?

Leo Messi doing a disappearing act?
Was it the actual plan though?
Neymar to Marquinhos: "So the plan is to give you guys 1 more goal. Than, we complete the greatest comeback ever in leg 2." #PSGFCB pic.twitter.com/MszeYjpiuV — Andrew Jerell Jones (@sluggahjells) February 14, 2017
