Champions League Celebrated birthday with brace

Iniesta: PSG were better than us at everything

Luis Enrique: It was a disastrous night

Paris Saint-Germain's Angel Di Maria has hailed his side's 'perfect' performance against Barcelona after humiliating their rivals 4-0 at the Parc des Princes in the Champions League on Tuesday.

The former Real Madrid man celebrated his 29th birthday in spectacular style when he opened the scoring by lofting a free-kick over Barcelona before securing a brace in the 55th minute.

But the Argentine international is convinced they will have a fight on their hands in the return-leg at the Camp Nou in three weeks' time and will need to give it their all to beat the best team in the world.

"It was a perfect night and we played the perfect match," he told BeIN. "I'm happy for the team and I think we deserved the result. We ran, we worked, and we fought.

"It is impossible to trust we have beaten the best team in the world, we have to work like we did today in the next match.

"Thank God 2017 is turning out all right and to be able to win a very important game. Just as we scored four against them, we have to continue working hard to be in the quarterfinals."

Di Maria was part of the Real Madrid's 5-0 capitulation against Barcelona back in 2010, and thus believes this result is sweet revenge.

"I was there for Barca's 5-0 win over Real Madrid and was left with a similar facial expression right after it as they have now. Surely, Barcelona have been finished."

Meanwhile, Marquinhos believes the side's ability to take their chances proved to be the key difference between the two sides.

"PSG are a young but solid team and we have been very supportive of each other," he said.

"We knew how to press, how to be well placed in blocks and how to take advantage of the occasions.

"All of the players are very happy, but we have to have our feet on the ground, to work hard because we know that at the Camp Nou, Barcelona are lethal.

"We are going to have to suffer all together and defend and attack all together.
