3-3 
The score was level coming into today's Champions League match between Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain, with a slight advantage to Barcelona with two away-goals. Messi was unfit to start the match, still recovering from a hamstring problem picked up last time these teams met.
By half-time Barcelona controlled over 60% of possession and worked more shots than P.S.G., but much of that possession was behind midfield and only one of the shots was on target. Also when Barcelona did have the ball forward there was usually no more than one player in the box. True the burden was on P.S.G. to score, but the Barcelona offense was clearly missing the creativity of Messi.
After half-time P.S.G. took the lead for the first time in this quarterfinal. During a counter-attack, Javier Pastore was played in behind the Barcelona defense by a cutting through-ball. With loads of space the midfielder scored to put P.S.G. up 3-2 on aggregate (50').
When the goal came, Messi started to get loose and entered the match with about half-an-hour left, replacing a rather ineffective Fabregas. With Messi on the field Barcelona played with more confidence and scored the equalizer. David Villa had the ball in the P.S.G. penalty area and was able to lay off a pass to Pedro just outside the box. Running right at goal, Pedro ripped the shot first-time to beat keeper Sirigu and reclaim the aggregate lead (71').
Though P.S.G. never actually lost to Barcelona over the two match span, the two away-goals Barcelona scored in Paris were the difference.
