Barcelona have chosen the absolute worst moment to put in one of their most carless performances of the season. They’ve given the ball away and been unable to play with a rampant PSG side that finds themselves up 2-0 at half. While Barca have been awful, PSG have been simply brilliant, dominating the Catalans in every aspect of the game. PSG have launched 11 shots in the first half, putting seven on target.
PSG’s second goal arrived in the 40th minute after Lionel Messi lost the ball in midfield. Marco Verratti played the ball through to Julian Draxler and he finished beyond Marc-Andre ter Stegen.
Julian Draxler this season:
0 goals in 14 matches for Wolfsburg.
5 goals in 9 matches for PSG. #PSGFCB #UCL https://t.co/ETnEg8z6QC— FOX Soccer (@FOXSoccer) February 14, 2017
Di Maria, Draxler, Verratti and Adrien Rabiot have dominated Barcelona from the start, outshooting Barca 11-2 over the first 45.
