Perhaps the weekend break will help Paris Saint-Germain's players recover from their midweek travails. 1-0 down and then 2-1 up before losing 3-2 to Barcelona at the Parc des Princes, it was – to mutilate the cliché – a game of two halves within two halves.
Such are the slings and arrows of PSG's fortunes. At least they will have Tuesday's quarter-final second leg in Spain to salvage their Champions League campaign.
