Raphinha outshines Mbappe in Barca fightbackpublished at 09:56
Paris St-Germain 2-3 Barcelona
Brazil winger Raphinha had never scored in the Champions League before Wednesday’s quarter-final first leg in Paris, but you wouldn’t have known it with the quality of his finishes.
For his opener, he capitalised on a mistake from PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma to sweep home a loose ball.
His second, which pulled Barcelona back level, showed superb skill as he watched Pedri’s clipped pass come over his shoulder before he volleyed home with the outside of his left foot.
The 27-year-old was a danger throughout and had the most shots (six), shots on target (four) and touches in the opposition box (six) for Barcelona.
He won man of the match and told Uefa.com: “These last few weeks, we’ve been working very hard in training. To come here and to return home with a win is pretty positive I’d say. Winning is important, but this tie is nowhere near finished.”
