PSG looked on course for a comfortable victory when Kylian Mbappé’s first-half brace gave them a 2-0 lead at the interval. However, the reigning Ligue 1 champions failed to build on their advantage and allowed Barcelona back into the contest. The Catalan giants started the second half with renewed determination, and Ousmane Dembélé halved the deficit with a well-taken strike in the 65th minute. As the clock ticked towards full-time, Barcelona were awarded a free kick just outside the penalty area. Up stepped Messi, the maestro of set pieces. With his customary artistry and precision, he curled the ball over the PSG wall and into the top corner, leaving goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma helpless. The Camp Nou erupted in ecstasy as Messi’s magical free kick sealed an improbable victory for Barcelona. The Argentine forward’s goal sparked a wild celebration on the pitch, with players and staff alike overjoyed at their stunning triumph. Messi’s latest masterclass takes his tally for the season to an incredible 36 goals in 43 appearances. His ability to produce moments of brilliance in the biggest matches continues to astound fans around the world. PSG, despite their early dominance, were left to rue a host of missed chances. Mbappé had a second-half penalty saved by Marc-André ter Stegen, while Lionel Messi also hit the post with a venomous free kick. The victory gives Barcelona a crucial advantage heading into the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie, which will take place at the Camp Nou on March 10. PSG will need to produce something truly special to overturn the deficit and progress to the quarter-finals.
