FC Barcelona left PSG alive in the return leg of the Champions League round of 16 and did not take advantage of their great match and the terrible game of the Parisians. Those of Koeman were better, but they were not successful and could only tie at 1 with a goal from Messi

The FC Barcelona went out to the Park of the Princes dominador against Paris Saint-Germain scared to the that seemed to remain him very big the party. The Parisians by moments remembered old ghosts by the legendary traced back of 2017 and were to favour of the Barcelona in the first part. The ones of Ronald Koeman commanded completely from the minute one and had spare occasions as to go to the rest with several goals.

Ousmane Dembélé Was the most active of the ones of Ronald Koeman in the first minutes and had several arrivals of danger that scared to the PSG. The clearest of all they stopped it with tarpaulin Keylor Navas with a powerful hand after going to the floor. The costarricense, that went to the dessert the big saviour of the Frenchmen in the first 45 minutes, avoided the 0-1 in the 19 and only four minutes afterwards went to go back to do it to shot of Sergiño Dest.

The American received in the right and after a good driving shot from inside the area to the first stick with power. The put of the French took out the fist and commanded the ball to the crossbar leaving to the Barça without the target. The blaugrana were being a lot of better and were leaving big feelings, but again a childish error of Clément Lenglet, disastrous this course, cost a penalti and the back so much of Kylian Mbappé.

The central stepped totally without wanting to Mauro Icardi, but the VAR signalled him to the referee that saw the action in the screen and the referee did not doubt in signalling the maximum penalty after seeing it. The Parisian forward transformed the launching with mastery and put by in front to his team without deserving it. The ones of Mauritius Pochettino went winning without almost give three passes followed against a Barcelona that was doing it all to go winning.

Messi empató and forgave the 1-2 of penalti

Luckily, the ones of Koeman went back to show that they do not surrender so easily and in the 37 a spectacular strike far of Leo Messi put the 1-1 and went back to give wings to the barcelonistas. Before, Dembélé had the tie, but went back to shoot with bullets of fogueo. Shortly after, Busquets went back to test to Keylor from the frontal, but the one of Costa Rica took it out with the foot. The first part was touching to his end and seemed that it went to finish with tables, but an error of Kurzawa almost allows him to the Catalans go by in front.

The side demolished to Griezmann inside the area and even could go to the street by double yellow, but the referee forgave it to him. Messi had the 1-2 in his boots, but was not hit and between Keylor and the crossbar avoided the goal. A setback tremendo for a Barça that gave him a bathroom to the PSG, that deserved mark two or three goals, but that left to the rest empatando and with the feeling to having left alive to the Parisians.

In the second part, Pochettino solved some of the enormous problems that was having his team, but still like this the Barcelona followed dominating and went back to be better. Messi, in fact, had a very clear inside the area, but a defence of the PSG avoided his so much and after several rebounds the played finished in at all. In the repetition saw that the '10' there was touches the ball with the hand, so in case to be goal had cancelled .

The Barça tried it without tarpaulin in the second part

The ones of Koeman, although the time finish and the result did not move , did not throw the towel and in the 70 Busquets saw again like Keylor took him out another so much with a good unemployed after a his head butt to the first stick. Five minutes afterwards, a 'cool' Fracisco Trincao tested luck from the frontal of the area with a powerful volley, but Danilo cleared before his goalkeeper had to take part again.

The 1-1 did not move and the meeting was touching to his end for misfortune of a Barcelona that it was very upper from beginning to end against a PSG tremendously nervous, clumsy, desacertado and unintelligent during all the duel. The Catalans, that already saw the traced back impossible, looked for at least the victory of the honour, but could not mark the second. At the end, 1-1 very meritorio for the blaugrana, that went through on of the French to level futbolístico, but that were too fallones as for a gesta like which needed.
