Football is a cruel game and it'll be tough for PSG players to sleep after relinquishing another promising advantage among Europe's elite. Attack-minded fullback Juan Bernat was one of few players who deserved to be on the winning side, though was unfortunate in defeat on this occasion.

His match statistics speak for themselves. 91.8% pass accuracy, four aerial duels won, three tackles, two interceptions and clearances completed, no fouls committed. An important equaliser and hit the post too? Frustrating isn't the right word to describe how the left-back will be feeling, though his presence - both in attack and defensively - were important as PSG probed and picked their moments to accelerate forward in numbers.

He enjoyed a good battle with substitute Diogo Dalot when the teenager drove forward and pounced on Eric Bailly's costly error to sneak in unmarked and slot home from Kylian Mbappe's clever pass across the box in the first-half. Despite the hosts' attacking potential and talent in abundance, that was ultimately as good as it got for them.
