Enrique delighted as Barcelona enjoy victory at PSG

Barcelona have one foot in the Champions League semifinals after winning 3-1 at PSG last night.

Andres Iniesta and Lionel Messi combined to set up Neymar for a slick opener in the 18th minute, and Luis Suarez added two brilliant strikes in the second half to seemingly seal matters.

Gregory van der Wiel's effort was deflected past Marc-Andre ter Stegen by Barca substitute Jeremy Mathieu to give PSG some hope late on, but Laurent Blanc's side have it all to do in next Tuesday's quarterfinal second leg at the Nou Camp.

"It's a good moment to congratulate the players. I think it's a fair victory. They tried to create problems for us too, but it's true their goal came out of a move where we were unlucky," said Barca coach Luis Enrique.
