Match Events
- 0' The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. FC Barcelona is hosting Paris Saint-Germain FC for another epic battle.
- 5' Paris Saint-Germain FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 10' Paris Saint-Germain FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 15' A quiet spell here at Camp Nou. FC Barcelona seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 20' Idrissa Gana Gueye picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.

- 56' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Paris Saint-Germain FC winning 100% of all matches.
- 61' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Presnel Kimpembe suffering a number of foals already.

- 85' Magnificent from Kylian Mbappe! That is 288 goals in 520 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.

- Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 1-4 draw is a fair result on the day.
