I've been on a World Cup happy moments mission. Today I'm taking a break from that to mark this day: a happy day for fans of Paris St. Germain, a day they will not forget, the day they beat the mighty Barcelona 4-0 in the first leg of the Champions League last 16.
Sometimes I get lost in my own words and thoughts. Simple: PSG beat Barca 4-0. Four. Nil. That's what I'll see when I look back at this one day. Whenever do Barcelona lose 4-0? It seems unusual, like it would have only happened many, many years ago when Barcelona were not what they are today, pre-Pep Guardiola or Frank Riijkard days. But it was only in 2013 that they were beaten 4-0 by Bayern Munich and 7-0 on aggregate.
Can Barcelona do the almost unthinkable in 2 weeks time, score 5 and win this tie? If it was any other team you would think not, but with Messi, Suarez and Neymar you would understand why the PSG fans might not be celebrating the great victory yet. But, my oh my, it must have been a night to remember in Paris today.
