sport news PLAYER RATINGS: Gianluigi Donnarumma has a SHOCKER as PSG are beaten 3-2 by ... trends now

Barcelona placed one foot in the Champions League semi-finals after beating Paris Saint-Germain in a thrilling first leg, with Raphinha their hero.

The red-hot forward scored a superb brace to stun the Parc des Princes with his second goal, a volley from Pedri's lofted pass, the standout on a goal-laden night.

Raphinha broke the deadlock after pouncing on a loose ball and smashing high into the top corner, capitalising on poor goalkeeping from Gianluigi Donnarumma.

PSG rallied back after the break, with Ousmane Dembele and Vitinha on target, before Raphinha's second and Andreas Christensen handed the visitors the lead.

PSG (4-3-1-2)

Gianluigi Donnarumma - 4

A shaky display. A rush of blood to the head from a corner went unpunished before his flap at a cross led to Raphinha breaking the deadlock shortly after.

Marquinhos - 6

Left exposed at times, especially on transitions, but stood his ground. 

Lucas Hernandez - 6

Sent into a dizzying spin by Raphinha and was forced to backpedal all too often.

Lucas Beraldo - 5

A poor performance from the youngster. Beaten too many times by forwards. 

Nuno Mendes - 6.5

Bright down the left-hand side and looked a real danger. 

Lee Kang-in - 6

A tidy display. Involved in the build-up leading to Vitinha's strike. 

Vitinha - 7

Ran in from deep before firing into the corner for his goal. Strong all round.

Fabian Ruiz (off 85min) - 6

A quiet evening on a night in which PSG craved more control in midfield. 

Ousmane Dembele - 7

A unstoppable strike for the equaliser. Took two touches, one to create space, before rocketing into the roof of the net with his left foot. Bright all round and hit the bar.

Marco Asensio (off 45min) - 5.5

Ineffectual and seemed to drift through much of the first half. Hooked at the break.
