  1. MATCH REPORT

    Neymar scores for Barcelona against Paris St-GermainAFP

    Neymar scored a spectacular goal as Barcelona came from behind to beat Paris St-Germain at the Nou Camp and finish top of Group F.

    Zlatan Ibrahimovic gave the visitors, who started the game top, a 15th-minute lead with a low finish from 10 yards after being teed-up by Blaise Matuidi.

    But Barcelona were behind for only four minutes, Lionel Messi equalising with his 75th goal in the competition after Luis Suarez's ball across the six-yard area.

    Lucas missed a golden chance for the visitors before Neymar's sublime 41st-minute finish, a 25-yard effort that dipped and curled before nestling in the back of the net.

    Edinson Cavani had a shot cleared off the line by Barcelona's Marc Bartra before Suarez stabbed home his side's third goal after goalkeeper Salvatore Sirigu had kept out Neymar's 77th-minute effort.

    Paris St-Germain will enter Monday's last-16 draw unseeded and will hope to avoid a future meeting with Barcelona in the competition after being taught a lesson in finishing.

    "Luis Enrique might have stumbled across something there with his 3-4-3. Or to give him more credit, masterminded it. Hope he sticks with it."

  3. FULL-TIME

    Barcelona finish top of Group F. Paris St-Germain will be unseeded in Monday's last-16 draw. Entertaining game sprinkled with some breathtaking action.

  4. Two minutes of added time. Free-kick to PSG just outside the area. Zlatan Ibrahimovic fancies a second goal. He strikes it well but it whistles over the bar.

  5. Barca are finishing strongly. Lionel Messi lets fly from just inside the area. It's dipping. It's curling. It's wide by a whisker.

  6. Barcelona v Arsenal in the last-16 anyone? It could happen....

  7. It's all getting a little niggly. PSG vent their frustration as Thiago Motta clatters into the back of Luis Suarez. There's no theatrics this time from the Barca forward. That was a clear foul.

  8. TEN MINUTES TO GO

    PSG only have themselves to blame. The visitors have carved out some great chances but have been unable to punish Barcelona.

  9. GOAL

    Barcelona v PSGReuters

    Cries of 'Suarez, Suarez' ring out as the Uruguay forward fires home from close range after Salvatore Sirigu denies Neymar but can't keep out of the follow up. Surely that's game over. Barcelona are going to finish top of Group F.

  10. SUBSTITUTION

    Another change for the hosts as team captain Andres Iniesta makes way for club captain Xavi.

  11. SUBSTITUTION

    Standing ovation as Pedro, who has been operating down the right, is replaced by Ivan Rakitic. Barcelona not happy to settle for a slender lead.

  12. Twenty five minutes left for PSG to come up with an equaliser and win the group. They'll fancy their chances after a poor defensive display by Barca.

  13. More panic inside the Barca penalty area! Yet again PSG cannot take advantage as Maxwell mis-hits from a good position. Another chance goes begging. But what is going on in that defence?

  14. Barcelona on Twitter: 82,570 fans at the Camp Nou tonight - the biggest gate of the season so far.

  15. YELLOW CARD

    First caution of the match and it's Edinson Cavani who is in trouble with Martin Atkinson for hauling down Neymar.

  16. That near miss has given PSG confidence. This game is far from over. The noise that greeted Neymar's world class strike has been replaced by a hush. There's a lot of nail biting taking place among the home fans.

  17. CLOSE!

    Pin ball inside the Barca penalty area after the home defence is left horribly exposed. Lucas' pace has caused the home side problems all game and it is his run that causes panic, Edinson Cavani's goal-bound shot is blocked before an almighty scramble.

  18. Zlatan Ibrahimovic climbs above Jeremy Mathieu to meet a corner but can't direct his effort on target. PSG need to make the most of their set-plays.

  19. Barcelona v PSGAFP

    Steve Crossman, football reporter for BBC World Service: "This must feel remarkably familiar for PSG. I was at Camp Nou when they took the lead in the quarter finals just over a year and a half ago. They had enough chances to make the game safe but were punished by a clinical Pedro finish in the last 20 minutes. Yet again they've had every chance to bring further joy to that small pocket of fans up in the gods of the stadium, but they've come up short."

  20. KICK-OFF

    Martin Atkinson gets us back under way. I get the feeling the Bradford ref is enjoying this as much as the home fans.
