Barcelona's UEFA Champions League status is hanging by a thread after they were pummelled 4-0 by Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of their last-16 tie on Tuesday.

A fantastic free-kick from Angel Di Maria gave the hosts an 18th-minute lead, and five minutes before the break, they grabbed a deserved second, with Julian Draxler thudding home from the edge of the box at the end of a slick counter.

Di Maria scored his second early in the second period, fizzing in a brilliant strike from distance. That was before Edinson Cavani completed the rout in the 72nd minute, capping off a miserable night for the visitors.
