PSG Crush Barça 4-0
Historic Victory for French Champions
PSG Dominate at Camp Nou
Paris Saint-Germain sent shockwaves through the football world with a stunning 4-0 victory over Barcelona in the first leg of their Champions League round of 16 tie at the Camp Nou. The French champions dominated proceedings from the outset, with Ángel di María inspiring the visitors to a memorable triumph.
Di María stole the show with a brace, opening the scoring in the 18th minute with a superb curling effort. Julian Draxler doubled the advantage just before the break, capitalizing on a defensive error to tap home from close range. The Argentinian winger sealed PSG's victory with a stunning free-kick in the 55th minute, before Edinson Cavani completed the rout late on.
Barcelona, who started the match as clear favorites, were left shell-shocked by PSG's clinical performance. Despite enjoying plenty of possession, the Spanish giants were unable to convert their chances and were repeatedly punished on the counter-attack by the visitors.
The result leaves PSG in a commanding position heading into the second leg at the Parc des Princes on March 10. Barcelona, meanwhile, face an uphill battle to overturn the deficit and keep their Champions League hopes alive.
