CHAMPIONS LEAGUE

Barcelona first goal given through goal line technology

Barcelona striker Suárez opened the scoring with his head after three minutes of the Champions League last-16 second leg match against PSG.

La tecnología demostró que el gol de Luis Suárez rebasó la línea.

Goal line technology has shown that Luis Suarez' early headed goal for Barcelona comfortably crossed the line. Trapp's indecision in goal for PSG presented Suarez' with an opportunity in the six yard box. The Uruguayan needed no second invitation in the third minute, and nodded the ball beyond the desperate 'keeper. Munier scooped the ball out with an outstretched leg, but it was not enough. The referee pointed to the centre circle, and Barça had their dream start.

Barcelona take a 2-0 lead in to the break

A shambolic display of indecision by Marquinhos led Kurzawa to put the ball in to his own net shortly before half time, giving Barça a great platform for the second half, and things looked perfectly set up when Messi converted a penalty after five minutes of the second period. However Cavani pulled one back for PSG after 62', leaving Barcelona needing three.
