Messi and Neymar arranged the first goal jointly. Suárez fixed the second and third entirely on their own. Barcelona superstars playing in France.
Paris St. Germain 1-3 Barcelona
Much going wrong about Barcelona now misplace spot in the Champions League semi-final. Catalans showed high class lost in Paris and has a very good base before returning meeting at Camp Nou next week.
And as usual there were superstars on top that shone most.
The first goal it was Neymar and Lionel Messi who arranged jointly.
And the next two goals were Luis Suárez who arranged entirely on their own.
Barcelona won 3-1 away from home and have full control quarterfinals.
– That tunnels and goals helped us to win the fight, it was important for me, said Suarez humbly in an interview shown on Viasat.
Star trio – popularly called ” MSN “- ravaged Paris St. Germain. Suarez believes it is as expected.
– We know where we have each other. We know each other’s roles. It will also require one of three attackers, said Suarez and added:
– This is what is expected of me.
Weakened Paris layer
Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Marco Verratti was out of quarantine. Thiago Motta was injured. And key players David Luiz and Lucas Moura, who has been out with injury, started on the bench against a Barcelona team that played quarterfinal eighth consecutive year. This is a record.
But the Catalans were not happy with the quarterfinals. They would of course semifinals. And the guests got up early battle in its tracks.
Lionel Messi assisted Neymar after 18 minutes. The Brazilian scored his fifth Champions League this season. It was not just a goal, it was an away goal, and Paris St. Germain could barely gotten a worse start to the game.
Yes, it could be worse. Few minutes after Barcelona’s leading goal had defender Thiago Silva rock out with injury. The Brazilian was replaced by his half injured compatriot David Luiz.
– The damage to Thiago Silva was the start of the problems. He was replaced by a player who
Barcelona controlled everything on alien grasses. They had, as expected, the ball the most. PSG players were running between, and the few opportunities counterattack was too half-hearted.
PSG got little. And put all the time with the feeling that Barcelona would get one or two chances to “kill” all the excitement before the return match at the Camp Nou.
Suarez ‘show
The hosts were more aggressive after break chat. They lay not as deep, they were more intense and wholehearted in mostly they undertook.
But without Barcelona felt that it was danger. They had control of this.
And midway through the second half settled probably Luis Suárez battle for semifinal ticket – before the rematch at home in Barcelona.
Uruguyaneren wondered whole of Barcelona on your own. First he beat tunnel Luiz. So he dribbled away Marquinhos and Maxwell. Then put it past the goalie. It was Suárez ‘tenth goal in the last 11 games.12 minutes before the end humiliated Suárez both PSG and Luiz again. 27-year-old struck again tunneling Luiz. So snogging it past the angle!
Gregory van der Wiel reduced Paris eight minutes before the end. Still, they have a huge mountain to climb when they meet next week Barcelona away from home.
