Barcelona dominated the early stages of the match with Keylor Navas denying Griezmann before Lionel Messi scored from the penalty spot after Layvin Kurzawa knocked down Frenkie de Jong in the area.

However, PSG responded emphatically with Mbappé firing an equaliser and striking twice midway through the second half.

The French World Cup winner delivered the final blow with five minutes remaining with a stunning curling effort on the break, and Barcelona have it all to do against PSG once again.
