Paris Saint-Germain 4-0 Barcelona, 2017 UEFA Champions League: Match Review

Barcelona and Luis Enrique were handed a lesson in football in Paris as the Parisians embarrassed the Catalans. PSG looked like a well-oiled machine while Barcelona looked out of sync in defense, midfield and attack. Angel Di Maria led PSG’s onslaught with a pair of long range goals and Julian Draxler and Edinson Cavani added one each to put the French side in a commanding position before the second leg.

Paris Saint-Germain came out of the gate playing very aggressive football, waiting Barcelona high up the pitch. PSG’s high press caused numerous problems as the Catalans couldn’t pass the ball out of their defensive zone.
