David Beckham, Jay-Z and Beyoncé chose the right Champions League game to attend on Tuesday night as they witnessed a cracker between Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona.
PSG, eliminated by Barça at the quarter-final stage in 2013, overcame the Catalans in a five-goal thriller at the Parc des Princes.
David Luíz's opener was cancelled out by Lionel Messi's strike only for Marco Verratti to regain PSG's lead before the interval from a corner.

Blaise Matuidi then extended PSG's advantage after the pause but Barça responded swiftly through Neymar.
PSG's brilliant young defender Marquinhos blocked a certain Andrés Iniesta goal and Munir El Haddadi struck a post as PSG held on.
