Paris Saint-Germain hold a three-goal cushion thanks to Kylian Mbappé's stunning hat-trick at the Camp Nou as Barcelona come to the Parc des Princes for the second leg of this UEFA Champions League round of 16 tie.
• Although Barcelona produced a famous fightback against Paris at this stage in 2016/17, that second leg took place at their home stadium, where Lionel Messi's 27th-minute penalty opened the scoring in the first leg of this tie. Mbappé quickly levelled, however, and struck twice more in the second half either side of a Moise Kean goal to make the final score 4-1 and become the first visiting player to score three times in a UEFA Champions League match at the Camp Nou since Andriy Shevchenko for Dynamo Kyiv in 1997.
