PARIS -- In a week that has seen some of the clubs in world football facing each other and offering some superb games, Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona did not disappoint at the Parc des Princes on Wednesday night.

Without reaching the height in intensity and quality of Tuesday's 3-3 draw between Real Madrid and Manchester City, Barça's 3-2 win was another rollercoaster of emotions and of domination. But as the Catalans left the stadium and the French capital to head back to prepare for the second leg next week, they will be the ones feeling boosted, while the Parisians will head home with bags of anxiety.
