The draw in Paris this Tuesday threw up some interesting facts and figures –particularly concerning Xavi Hernadez.

-Xavi’s penalty was the first time he had ever scored from the spot for the Club and was his 12^th European goal.

-The game also marked Xavi’s 150^th game in European competition, with just five players ahead of him - Giggs, Raúl, Zanetti, Seedorf and Maldini.

-Although he came off injured, Leo Messi still managed to score and chalked up his eighth of this year’s competition.

-The goal was also Messi’s 60^th in European games, overtaking ex-Barça stars Henry and Larsson, who both bagged 59.

- PSG’s Matuidi will miss the second leg in the Camp Nou after picking up a yellow. Mascherano’s booking would also have ruled him out - though his injury will mean he misses the game anyway.

- Barça made 696 passes in the game, 620 of them successful against 281 by PSG

- Tito Vilanova’s side enjoyed 64,23% possession, against 35,77% for the hosts.
