Barca's joint-heaviest defeat - the stats

Paris St-Germain became the sixth team to score four goals in a Champions League game vs Barcelona (after Milan, Dynamo Kiev, Valencia, Chelsea and Bayern Munich).

Indeed, this was Barcelona's joint-heaviest defeat in the competition (0-4 vs Milan in 1994, Dynamo Kiev in 1997 and Bayern Munich in 2013).

Angel Di Maria has scored four goals in the Champions League this season - his best return in a single campaign.

Only Lionel Messi (10) has scored more goals in the Champions League this season than Edinson Cavani (seven).

No side has ever turned round a 4+ goal deficit to progress in a Champions League knockout tie.

Barca faced 10 shots on target vs PSG - their joint-highest in a Champions League match since 2003-04 (also vs Bayer Leverkusen in December 2015).
