"It’s a big win, of course, playing away in the Champions League means it’s big to win. I’m very proud of the team. It was hard work, there’s still a game to go and Paris remain one of the best in Europe right now.We are only at the halfway stage after this, it’s a small advantage but it’s a big victory. Now we need to recover well," Xavi said (via Barca Blaugranes).
The second leg will be played in Barcelona next Tuesday, April 16. Whoever advances will take on either Atletico Madrid or Borussia Dortmund. The Rojiblancos won the first leg 2-1.
