One final chance for Barca, but Firpo heads over from Messi’s cross, moments after Mbappe had blazed over at the other end.
89'
M. Icardi gets yellow.
That’s a booking for Icardi, who scythed down De Jong to stop the Dutchman driving into PSG’s half.
85'
That’s a waste from Griezmann, and it shows Barca’s frustration. He was in a good position with plenty of support, but elected to shoot, and sends his effort way off target.
84'
Rafinha enters the game and replaces M. Verratti.
Another change for PSG, and it is Rafinha who is going to make an appearance against his former club. He has replaced Verratti.
83'
A rare PSG break sees Mbappe release Icardi, but he is forced wide by De Jong and the angle is cut down. He tries a shot, but sends it flying over the crossbar.
82'
It’s one-way traffic, as it has been for the majority of the second half, but Barca still can’t find a way through, with Marquinhos leading a fantastic defensive effort from PSG.
79'
I. Moriba enters the game and replaces Sergio Busquets.
Braithwaite is also on for Barca. Dembele has gone off, after missing some big opportunities.
Busquets has gone off, with Ilaix on.
78'
M. Pjanić enters the game and replaces Pedri.
M. Braithwaite enters the game and replaces O. Dembélé.
For Barca, Pedri makes way for Pjanic.
77'
A glut of changes now. Florenzi has gone off for PSG, to be replaced by Dagba.
Minute
Description
76'
C. Dagba enters the game and replaces A. Florenzi.
CLOSE! Another chance for Dembele! He got into a good position, but just lacked the clinical nature to stick out a leg and prod in an exceptional cross from Alba.
74'
A chance for Barca now, after Messi draws a foul on the edge of PSG’s area, to the left-hand side. He stands over the free-kick, and will look to cross it in…
68'
Brilliant defending from Marquinhos, who skips across to prevent Messi getting on the end of a deflected clearance from Danilo.
67'
Since that chance for Messi, Barca have been unable to build pressure on PSG’s line, with Pochettino’s changes having the desired effect of disrupting the visitors’ play just enough to keep them at arm’s length.
66'
Trincão enters the game and replaces S. Dest.
A change for Barca, and it is an attacking one. Dest has made way for Trincao.
60'
Danilo Pereira enters the game and replaces I. Gueye.
59'
Á. Di María enters the game and replaces J. Draxler.
The second switch sees Danilo replace Gueye, who of course had just been booked.
Two changes for PSG. First, Di Maria – who is just back from injury – replaces Draxler.
57'
It has been all Barca since the restart, but still no sign of a clear opening. Dest tries to latch onto a Griezmann flick, but the young full-back can’t keep the ball in play before hooking in a cross.
54'
Lots of pressure is on PSG’s defence, but for now they are holding firm. Dest tries to pick out a team-mate in a crowded penalty area, but Navas claims it.
50'
L. Paredes gets yellow.
I. Gueye gets yellow.
A booking for Gueye, who barged into Griezmann in order to prevent a Barca counter-attack taking shape.
Paredes has also gone into the book, it seems for dissent. That will keep the midfielder out of the first leg of the quarter-finals, should PSG progress.
46'
A. Diallo enters the game and replaces L. Kurzawa.
There has been a change for PSG at half-time. Diallo is on for Kurzawa, who had a rough time of it in the first half and conceded the penalty.
KICK-OFF! The game’s back up and running for the second half.
45' +5
HALF-TIME: PSG 1-1 BARCELONA (5-2 ON AGGREGATE).
45' +4
There has been a check for a potential encroachment from a PSG defender, but Barca’s luck is out and there was no infringement.
45' +3
Penalty saved by K. Navas!
SAVED! Messi can’t make it count! He struck his finish low to Navas’ right, but the Costa Rica goalkeeper guessed right, just managing to get a leg to it, and the ball flicks up and clatters away off the crossbar.
38'
F. de Jong gets yellow.
Barca are demanding a penalty after Navas clatters into Griezmann, but there is nothing doing for the referee. Indeed, De Jong receives a booking for his complaints.
37'
L. Messi has scored a goal for Barcelona! Assist by Pedri.
GOOOAAALLLL!!! WHAT A STRIKE FROM MESSI! Out of nowhere, Barca have the goal their performance has deserved. Not much looked on when Messi picked up possession 30 yards out, but with time and space, the mercurial number 10 thumped an incredible effort into the top-left corner. It had so much dip and power on it, that Navas had no chance. It’s 1-1, and 5-2 on aggregate.
Pedri gets the assist, but all the credit has to go to Messi. That was sensational from a player that truly is carrying this Barca team.
35'
J. Firpo enters the game and replaces Óscar Mingueza.
An early change for Barca, and it seems Koeman has decided he cannot afford Mingueza – who has looked all at sea up against Mbappe – receiving a second booking. The centre-back has made way for full-back Firpo, with De Jong dropping into defence and Barca seemingly switching to a 3-4-3.
34'
There is only one scoreline that can send this tie to extra-time, and that would be if Barca went on to win 4-1 in the 90 minutes. The visitors started brightly, but find themselves heading for the exit door.
30'
C. Lenglet gets yellow.
Penalty goal scored by K. Mbappé for PSG!
That seems incredibly harsh, but Lenglet has received a booking and PSG now have the chance to extend their lead in the tie…
GOAL! MBAPPE MAKES NO MISTAKE! Despite all of Barca’s good work, it is 1-0 PSG, with their hero from the first leg slamming a wonderful finish into the top-left corner, sending Ter Stegen the wrong way.
26'
That is a silly tackle from Mingueza, who lunged in on Mbappe. If he had not already been booked, he would almost certainly have received a caution there. PSG – and in particular Mbappe – will surely be looking to target the centre-back now.
25'
Óscar Mingueza gets yellow.
Verratti does brilliantly to wriggle away from a crowd of yellow shirts and drill through a pass for Mbappe to race onto. However, the forward is tugged back by Mingueza, who gets a booking.
22'
Messi slips in Alba, whose cross is blocked. They take the corner short, but Pedri’s delivery is then overhit, and PSG watch it float safely out of play.
20'
Well, it has certainly not been a cagey opening 20 minutes. Barca have been on top, though it is the five-time European champions who need to inject the impetus today.
16'
Mbappe gets his first sighting of goal and duly takes on a shot, but it just lacks the power to really test Ter Stegen.
9'
Indeed, it is Messi who takes it. He gets his effort up over the wall, but it does not drop quickly enough, and Navas watches it sail over.
8'
L. Kurzawa gets yellow.
That’s a reckless foul from Kurzawa, who left out a leg that felled Dembele, just under 30 yards from goal. It seems ideal territory for Messi.
5'
A first half-opening for Barca. Dembele displays a turn of pace to match Mbappe’s to get in behind PSG’s line. He cuts it back for the onrushing Messi, who is dropping off as a false nine, but the Argentine’s effort is blocked.
4'
Another set-piece opportunity for PSG. Paredes again delivers, this time from a free-kick out on the left. His cross finds Gueye, who flicks a header over, though Barca’s marking was almost non-existent.
3'
Barca’s issue is that, with their lead, PSG can afford to play on the counter, and utilise Mbappe’s pace to its full effect. The hosts look to do that right way, Mbappe getting down the left and combining with Verratti, whose attempted cross is blocked. Marquinhos connects with the resulting corner, but diverts his header away from goal and out for a goal-kick.

KICK-OFF! We are up and running at the Parc des Princes.
Hello and welcome to LIVE coverage of Paris Saint-Germain v Barcelona in the Champions League!
PSG have one foot into the quarter-finals thanks to their superb, Kylian Mbappe-inspired display in the first leg – the France sensation scoring a wonderful hat-trick to help last season’s finalists to a 4-1 triumph at Camp Nou.
Barca, of course, are no strangers to mounting a famous comeback against PSG, though that was four years ago, with the backing of a full Camp Nou. This time around, they are at an empty Parc des Princes, and have already conceded four away goals, meaning a 4-0 win is the lowest margin of victory which can see them progress.
TEAM NEWS – PSG SUBSTITUTES: Pablo Sarabia, Abdou Diallo, Ander Herrera, Colin Dagba, Angel Di Maria, Danilo Pereira, Edouard Michut, Rafinha, Mitchel Bakker, Timothee Pembele.
TEAM NEWS – BARCELONA SUBSTITUTES: Neto, Riqui Puig, Inaki Pena, Junior Firpo, Miralem Pjanic, Trincao, Konrad De la Fuente, Matheus Fernandes, Samuel Umtiti, Martin Braithwaite.
TEAM NEWS – BARCELONA (4-3-3): Marc-Andre ter Stegen; Sergino Dest, Oscar Mingueza, Clement Lenglet, Jordi Alba; Frenkie de Jong, Sergio Busquets, Pedri; Antoine Griezmann, Lionel Messi, Ousmane Dembele.
Likewise, there is just the one alteration from Barca’s team in the first leg, as Ronald Koeman replaces Gerard Pique with Mingueza. That means Messi, who netted the opener before PSG ran riot, starts up front.
The teams are out on the pitch, and kick-off is moments away. Can Barca produce one of the most remarkable Champions League comebacks – again – or will PSG seal their place in the last eight?
We could be in for a wonderful second-half, if the first was anything to go by. Barca need to score three without conceding to take this tie to extra-time, but will that penalty miss have taken the wind out of their sails? PSG have looked far from assured at the back, but with Mbappe as an outball, always have a threat.
That’s all for now. Goodbye!
So, there will be no Barca in the last eight, but last year’s runners up are through and, with a bit of luck for Pochettino, Neymar will be fit by the time those games roll around.
