In the return, Luis Suárez, a Layvin Kurzawa own goal and a Lionel Messi penalty made it 3-0, before Cavani scored in the 62nd minute and seemed to settle the tie.

Who has the edge in PSG vs Barcelona?

The all-time record is level, but PSG have the edge on recent form in this fixture, while Barcelona arrive with the better 2026-27 record.

Quick verdict: history says it is a coin toss, recent meetings favour PSG, and current form favours Barcelona. With both sides scoring freely and both missing first-choice full-backs, goals at both ends look more likely than a tight game. Our lean for tonight is both teams to score, with PSG or a draw (double chance) as a medium-confidence pick.
