Kylian Mbapp\u00e9’s brilliant hat-trick for PSG leaves Barcelona in tatters<\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Nobody had any doubt that Mauricio Pochettino\u2019s mission as manager of Paris Saint-Germain is to win the Champions League. There\u2019s a long way to go yet, and PSG will face far tougher opposition than this group of Barcelona players, but a 4-1 win at the Camp Nou on Tuesday in the first leg of the round of 16 is a very good way for the Argentinian coach to start.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 will, deservedly, take most of the headlines, having scored a hat trick, but what was impressive about this PSG performance was that it wasn\u2019t based on individuals, but on a team performance\u2013sensational as Mbapp\u00e9 was within that.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There had been a sense before the game that these were two teams in uncertain form. Barcelona has been improving but sits third in La Liga’s table, and PSG, almost unthinkably, is not currently on top in France’s Ligue 1 after suffering five defeats this season. But the result Tuesday was an open and engaging game of high quality, in which PSG proved its mettle\u2013not just in terms of ability but in having the resilience to come from behind.<\/strong><\/p>\n
