Kylian Mbappe scored a stunning hat-trick as Paris St-Germain ripped Barcelona apart in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie at the Nou Camp.
Match Report
The night did not start well for last year's runners-up when they fell behind to Lionel Messi's 27th-minute penalty.
Messi, regarded as one of the greatest players of all time, was then upstaged on his own turf by France World Cup winner Mbappe as PSG ruthlessly exposed the hosts.
Mbappe danced past Clement Lenglet and smashed in the equaliser before stroking home from 10 yards to turn the game around.
On-loan Everton striker Moise Kean continued his resurgence by heading in unchallenged at the far post to put the Ligue 1 champions in control of the tie.
With Barca looking to pull a goal back, they were caught on the counter-attack and Mbappe curled in the goal of the night with his third.
The second leg takes place on 20 March in Paris, by which time PSG hope to have Neymar back from a thigh injury to face his former side.

“I’ve spent 17 wonderful years with Barcelona and I wish I could have stayed 4-1 more season. I 8-2 say this but I hereby retire from club football.” Yours Truly, Lionel Messi.

Ruthless PSG control an emptied Camp Nou in a five goal thriller. Paris St German came from a goal down to beat a disorganized Barcelona side 4:1 at their own turf after Lionel Messi had converted a controversial spot-kick. World cup winner, Kylian Mbappe scored a hat-trick to expose crisis hit Barcelona who are third in the Spanish top-flight. The Frenchman made himself a nightmare for the Catalans' sleepy defence that featured veteran, Gerard Pique for the first time since November 2020. Moise Kean who is on loan from Everton put his name on the score sheet with an exquisite header to beat in-form German international, Ter Stegen. The defeat now puts pressure on manager Ronald Koeman as talisman, Leo Messi might be tempted to leave, realizing the fact that the Barcelona captain's contract expires in the summer. The big question is; can Barcelona make a second leg come back in Paris when the likes of Neymar and Di Maria return from injuries? Anything could happen in the football game but I think Barcelona are out considering the number of goals they conceded on home soil. There are lots of ills that need to be corrected in order to reclaim their lost form. 1. The signing of a young but brutal defensive midfielder to be perked with Frankie De John as Sergio Busquets leaves the game gradually. 2. A winger who has the agility to provide dangerous crosses in the opponents' half. 3. One central defender and one left-back to replace veteran Jordi Alba who is also dropping form seriously. 4. Speed up with the presidential election and possibly change manager Koeman who has caused a lot of problems for his own side. 5. Since the team do not have money now, use some of the aging players (Pique, Busquets, Pjanic, etc) as makeweights. Some of these can greatly help the team in regaining their lost form. Congratulations to Mbappe and PSG, they were the better side!

The truth is that even if Barca assemble all the best players in their camp and with Koeman as the manager they will not go any where. The thing is that let this election come up quickly so that this Koeman can go. There's no problems with the present crop of players in Barcelona rather their problem is manager. Just take this present squad they have now and give them to Simone or Zidane or Guardiola and you will see how talented these superstars will be.I hate this man for bringing such a humiliation to football Barcelona fans. The worst about him is that he has no shame at all he even has the guts to talk after an embarrassing outing. If he can resign or be sacked then joy will return back to us fans.

A lesson for Pique who is actually Arturo Vidal version 2.0. He needs to keep stop barking on Madrid and focus on remaining days of his football (if any).

I predicted this right after saw the starting line-up. Same shitty defence played with Bayern. Only dest chnaged. Dest tried his best to avoid mbappe pass through him. Later mbappe identified passing through lenglet and pique is easier than passing Dest. After that all attacks were came from middle. We fucking need to sell lenglet Pique and Busquets. Then we can pay the salary of Alaba and buy garcia. Should have started with Oscar and Pjanic who isn't waiting for ball to come for him. Technically busqi is better but he is too lazy and defence is also on pressure due to him. Pls play this lineup in game to get atleast a consolation win. Dembele mist improve his shooting if he wanna earn position in starting line up

Remember one thing,This comment is here for those who are trolling Barcelona today. Don't forget 90 mins still left to play. If they can score 4 away goals then we can score 5. When it's talk about a COMEBACK, there's no teams better than FC BARCELONA. NOW BARCELONA PLAYERS HAVE TO STEP UP AND ANSWER THESE SHITTY PEOPLE IN THE 2ND LEG. Cold hearted Barcelona won't forgive PSG at the 2nd leg remark my words. They will humiliate,Destroy and REST IN PEACE by Barcelona at the 2nd leg. A lion step back that doesn't mean game over, IT'S JUST STARTED. WE WILL GO TO FRANCE, CONQUER IT AND THEN COME TO SPAIN,Mind it. PSG WILL REST IN PEACE. 🔥 ANOTHER REMONTADA AWAITS 🔥 FORCA BARCAAA COME ON BARCA FANS SAYY FORCAAAAAA BARCAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

A tactical game played by Pochettino, he knew Barca well and came with an incredible game plan.The defense coordination and the counter attack, it was so rock solid. Messi had to go deep to get the ball and distribute just for Dembele and Alba to aimlessly dispose. People saw this coming;young, inferior physique and inexperienced players with a clueless coach brought humiliation again. Thank god Mbappe couldn’t convert all the chances else it would have been as humiliating as the semi- final against Bayern. Pochettino made the difference ! Barca might take a few years to get to the level of wining champions league !
