It's been a frantic opening half hour in the Group F encounter between Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona.
The two sides have combined to play a fast-paced, exciting brand of football, with PSG taking the early advantage courtesy of a header from one of the smallest players on the pitch.
Barcelona will be bitterly disappointed after allowing Marco Verratti to find enough space on the far corner of the net to get a header past keeper Marc-André ter Stegen.
Verratti, who stands at an underwhelming 5'4, quietly sneaked in behind the Barcelona defence to convert the header from a corner kick.
