Former Chelsea defender David Luiz struck early to give the hosts a surprise lead. Luiz brought down Lucas Moura’s cross in the penalty area before slotting the ball into the net past Marc-Andre ter Stegen. See it here:
Lionel Messi took another step towards the Champions League goal-scoring record with this equaliser.

Goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen was at fault here, as he gets caught out by the PSG set-piece and gets left in no-mans land trying to deal with the cross, allowing Verratti to head into an empty net. Check it out below:
