“We created many chances, Raphinha and Robert [Lewandowski] made the difference, and Pedri helped us a lot. I’m very happy and proud of the team.
“Christiensen also did well with the corner, we executed it perfectly. It’s a big win, but it’s only half the job done. The game in Barcelona will be tough. PSG is one of the best teams in the world right now,” Xavi told TNT Sports.
