The club are near-enough broke and have to sell players if they are to bring some more in.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s becoming increasingly clear, however, that the Brazil winger should not be in the shop window unless Barca receive a crazy, crazy offer.<\/p>\n<p>This was Raphinha\u2019s night. It was his fine finish following a Gianluigi Donnarumma error that put the visitors ahead. It was his finer volley just after the hour mark which brought them level again at 2-2.<\/p>\n<p>Champions League nights are made for the best players. On this occasion, Raphinha strolled into the back yard of Kylian Mbappe and had the last laugh.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Honourable mention<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/01hv4yx94tg3t4f20k33.jpg\" alt=\"Ilkay Gundogan\" title=\"Ilkay Gundogan\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>A veteran performance \/ Franco Arland\/GettyImages<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ilkay Gundogan \u2013 8\/10<\/h3>\n<p>If we\u2019re being honest, the player ratings don\u2019t do justice what a remarkable team effort this was from Barcelona.

PSG had the better of the opening exchanges, but once Gundogan turned it on in the midfield battle, the game was at his mercy.<\/p>\n<p>To top off his contributions for the evening, he provided the assist for Andreas Christensen\u2019s winner, ensuring his impact was both tangible and intangible.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"_t9x5ud6l0\">Barcelona\u2019s worst player vs PSG<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/01hv4z7xncx4mds0tgae.jpg\" alt=\"Kylian Mbapp\u00e9, Jo\u00e3o Cancelo\" title=\"Kylian Mbapp\u00e9, Jo\u00e3o Cancelo\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>Yeah maybe don\u2019t do this next time Joao yeah cheers \/ Tim Clayton \u2013 Corbis\/GettyImages<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Joao Cancelo \u2013 6\/10<\/h3>\n<p>Alright, don\u2019t get angry.
