Two goals from Angel Di Maria and one apiece from Julian Draxler and Edinson Cavani gave Paris Saint-Germain an unexpected and potentially unassailable 4-0 lead against Barcelona in their Champions League round of 16 first leg tie.
Former Sevilla coach Unai Emery, a three-time Europa League winner, was appointed to improve upon PSG's record in the Champions League and the Spaniard has them on course for the quarterfinals courtesy of two goals in each half from a side playing without the influence and experience of Thiago Silva and Thiago Motta.
PSG had the better of the early exchanges with Blaise Matuidi and Adrien Rabiot forcing Marc-Andre ter Stegen into saves, before Di Maria scored an 18th-minute free kick to break the deadlock.
