The National's Sport cover for the Thursday, April 15 issue, featuring Luis Suarez and Barcelona as they pummelled Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League quarter-final first leg at the Parc des Princes.
The 3-1 away win for Barca ensures PSG will need – at least – three goals in the return leg to have any chance of overcoming the deficit. A monumental ask against a Barcelona side firing at their best at the moment.
Writes Richard Jolly of the match:
“Over the past few years, Barcelona have made a habit of breaking records and rewriting the history books.
“In the grand scheme of things, their latest milestone was comparatively minor.
“In the context of this Champions League, however, it could assume huge proportions.”
With a goal from Neymar and two from Luis Suarez, Barcelona reasserted their authority on Europe.
“It helps to have extraordinary players.
“Two of them, Neymar and Luis Suarez scored, and Barcelona may feel normal service is on the brink of being resumed.”
