Barcelona needed to score four goals without conceding any to overturn a 1-4 deficit from the first leg to keep their hopes alive. But the La Liga side fell behind in the 30th minute when PSG were awarded a penalty for a Clement Lenglet foul on Leandro Paredes. Kylian Mbappe, who had become just the third player to score a hat-trick against Barcelona in the Champions League, stepped up and calmly converted to give PSG the lead.

But Barcelona restored parity just seven minutes later when Messi struck from 30 yards out. The Argentine received a pass from Pedri in midfield took two touches to set himself up and smashed into the top bin to equalise for Barcelona. Then at the brisk of half-time Barcelona were awarded a penalty of their own. Messi stepped up and smashed it hard through the middle but the shot was saved by PSG goalkeeper Keylor Navas.
