Victor Valdes failed to keep out a 94th minute strike from Blaise Matuidi, as Paris Saint-Germain came from behind twice, to draw 2-2 in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final.
Lionel Messi opened the scoring in the half time. Dani Alves found the Argentine free inside the box, with an exquisite outside-of-the-leg pass and the forward finished first time past Sirigu.
Messi did not emerge for the second half, because of a suspected hamstring injury and his magic was missed, as Barca fought to seal a win. Zlatan Ibrahimovic levelled, despite protests for offside.
Xavi thought he had wrapped up victory with a late penalty, but Matuidi’s left-footed shot squeezed through valdes’ grasp, to set up a thrilling second leg.
In the second game of the night, David Alaba’s long-range effort and Thomas Muller’s tap-in, ensured Bayern Munich travel to Turin next week with a two-goal advantage.
