Half-Time Report: Neymar strike puts Barcelona ahead against Paris Saint-Germain

Barcelona lead at the break in their Champions League clash against Paris Saint-Germain thanks to a strike just before the break from Neymar.

A strike from Neymar in the 42nd minute has handed Barcelona the lead at the break in their Champions League clash against Paris Saint-Germain at Camp Nou.

The visitors took the lead in the 15th minute of the game as Lucas Moura managed to thread a pass to the feet of Blaise Matuidi inside the box, who then teed up Zlatan Ibrahimovic and the striker fired a left-footed volley past Marc Andre ter Stegen into the bottom corner.

Barcelona hit back immediately as Luis Suarez chased down a long ball over the top of the PSG defence, and he put a low ball across the face of goal. Lionel Messi was on hand to slide in with a finish at the back post to bring his side level.

Lucas should have fired his side back in front when he latched on to a cross at the near post from Matuidi as the striker got in front of Marc Barta, but he could only direct his first-time shot wide of the post.

Laurent Blanc's side were able to break behind the Barcelona defence when Ibrahimovic found himself unmarked down the right. The Swede lofted a cross to the back post for Edinson Cavani, but his strike was well saved by Ter Stegen.

The home side came close to nipping in front when a loose ball from a Pedro cross fell to Suarez in the penalty area, but Salvatore Sirigu beat his effort away with a fine reaction stop.

However, Luis Enrique's men edged ahead when Neymar raided forward with the ball unchallenged and unleashed a powerful strike at goal from 25 yards, which sailed past Sirigu and nestled into the bottom corner.
