The 31-year-old made his mark on Wednesday's Group A encounter by scoring a brace in the first half

Angel Di Maria has become just the second player in Champions League history to score a double against both Real Madrid and Barcelona.

The PSG star achieved the feat in Wednesday's Group A opener at Parc des Princes, as he netted twice in the first half for the home side.

Only former Porto, Sporting CP and Galatasaray forward Mario Jardel has also scored a brace against both Barca and Real Madrid in the Champions League.

Barcelona would famously go on to overturn that deficit in the second leg, winning 6-1 at the Camp Nou in a stunning comeback for the ages.
