SAVE! ter Stegen gets one big hand on Matuidi's rasping shot after he was sent surging into the left side of the area. Rabiot eventually follows up but sizzles a strike straight at the Barca stopper.

A lot of love for Verratti on Twitter...

DID YOU KNOW? Barcelona are hoping to reach the quarter-finals for a record 10th season on the spin.

Barca only half clear from that Cavani chance with Draxler curving a shot from 20 yards well wide of the far post. Promising signs for the hosts.

BIG CHANCE. Cavani is left in acres on the left of the area. The PSG forward takes an age to pull it down and get a shot away, allowing Sergi Roberto to make an important block.

The resulting free kick poses a question the PSG defence just about answer. They counter but ter Stegen is out of his area well to mop up the danger.

Adrien Rabiot gets an early caution for a lunging challenge on Neymar, who was in full flow after bursting away from the left flank.

Barca are also in fine form, losing just one of their last 22 games. That's not good news for Emery, who has a torrid record against the Catalan giants. The former Sevilla boss has lost 16 of the 23 matches he has faced them.

This is a great line from Lucas Moura when asked about how to stop Messi… “Legally? For me it's impossible to stop him. You have to tie him up!"

Luis Enrique: “Knowing Unai, I know he will try to make our life complicated. He knows us perfectly, he knows exactly what we have to offer. Our goal will be to keep the ball and create space because they will be taking risks. They are now more thorough than they used to be and they are more structured, and they also have great forwards."
