Live Reporting
The game in Lisbon has had to take a back seat this evening because of events in Paris. But Benfica will take a slender lead to Dortmund, thanks to Kostas Mitroglou's goal and Ederson's save from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's penalty.
Dortmund had plenty of chances but the Portuguese side held firm.
It is a mauling, a hammering, a shellacking. PSG have torn a dire Barca to shreds. It is a moment to savor for the French side - possibly the birth of them as a force in Europe. Could it be the end of an era for the Spanish side?

No team has ever overturned a four-goal deficit in the Champions League. Only Deportivo Coruna have overturned a three goal deficit - winning 5-4 on aggregate against Milan after losing the first leg 4-1. That was a quarter-final in 2004.
Barca are not covering themselves in glory in any way here. Ivan Rakitic is right into the ref's face to demand that Adrien Rabiot be sent off for a foul on Neymar. The ref doesn't take his advice.
From the set-piece, Neymar fires the ball high over the bar.
Two minutes plus injury time to go in Paris. Barca will just want to get this over with, get back to Spain and lick some pretty hefty wounds. They have been ripped apart in the French capital.
Cracking stop from Ederson! Dortmund are knocking at the door but the Benfica stopper shows great reflexes to claw away a Christian Pulisic volley that takes a big deflection off Luisao.
Barca miss a golden opportunity to give themselves a sliver of hope in the tie. A corner is headed on by Pique and somehow nodded against the post by Samuel Umtiti from point-blank range. A big let-off for PSG, who will not be wanting to give any encouragement to their opponent for the second leg.
Barca's poorness will be a focus, but it should not be at the expense of PSG's brilliance. This is a calling card, a signal of intent, from both the French side and their manager. We're not playing games anymore.
Barca finally earn themselves a sight of goal. Neymar can't make the most of it, though, as he slices his effort wide of goal from inside the box.
Meanwhile, in Lisbon, Dortmund are piling on the pressure in search of a leveller. The home side holding firm, though.

Barca just look shot. There is complete open space in midfield for PSG to run into. This could get worse for the Spanish champions.
I honestly can't remember seeing Barca swept aside in such a ruthless manner. Certainly not this century.

Cavani now has 34 for the season. Ten in his last seven games.

What is going on?! This is an amazing night in Paris. Edinson Cavani gets in on the act, capitalising on yet more slack Barca defending to collect from Thomas Meunier on the edge of the box before smashing home. Thing is, it's not even flattering for PSG. They have really been this good. In fact, if you add in how bad Barca have been 4-0 is probably not quite fitting enough.

PSG are forced into a second change. Marco Verratti's brilliant display is ended by what could be cramp or a minor muscle tweak. He limps off to replaced by Christopher Nkunku.

Sammiiee!!: I think this is the first time in a while we can agree that Messi has been terrible
Alex Smith: PSG playing some unbelievable football tonight, quick and strong play, battering Messi and co.

Suarez, Messi and Neymar haven't had a sniff so far. Not. A. Sniff. Suarez looks to get something going with a pass to Neymar but he is crowded out the very second he gets the ball out of his feet. Ruthlessly efficient from PSG.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's rubbish night is brought to an early end as he is replaced by former Chelsea man Andre Schurrle.
If you are just joining us, I can inform you that Barcelona are taking a pasting. It is not often you get to write that sentence on one of these live text thingies.
Angel di Maria - who has bagged two goals - has gone off. Must be injured. Can't imagine PSG would want to ease off the gas for a second the way this is going.
Aubameyang is not having a good night. That is his third miss and easily his most egregious.

Ederson to the rescue! He stands still as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang whacks it down the middle and is able to punch the ball away. Lisbon goes wild.

Dortmund have a life-line. Ljubomir Fejsa dives in on Marc Batra and fells him while also handballing. Ref points to the spot.
Actress Liv Tyler and her partner David Gardner are in Paris tonight. The perfect Valentine's date? As long as they're not Barcelona fans.

Andre Gomes' torment is over. He is replaced by Rafinha.

And still PSG pour forward. Draxler chips the ball into the box and just a yard away from the outstretched boot of Cavani. Barca need to do something here. On cue, they are preparing a change.
Oh. My. Word. Angel di Maria take a bow. He picks up the ball on the edge of the box, buys himself a yard with a little shimmy and then curls a shot into the top corner. It is a sublime finish. The move before it, though, moved from front to back, from keeper to forward, and was like a hot knife through a butter-like Barca. Is that tie over?
AFP
Kostas Mitroglou! Remember him? Fulham fans will, but not for what he's just done here, which is score. Pizzi's corner is headed on by Luisao and falls into the feet of Mitroglou, whose touch takes out the diving keeper and gives him a clear goal to smack the ball into. Deadlock broken.
AFP
PSG chanrge forward again as Di Maria's ball over the top releases Thomas Meunier. His ball is behind Cavani, though, and the break falters.
Never mind, though, because Barca are so accommodating the openings keep coming for the home side. The ball is swung in but nodded over.
PSG come out punching again. Adrien Rabiot swings a cross high and through the Barca box without contact.
Filipe Augusto is a half-time sub for Benfica. He is on for Andre Carrillo. The match is back under way.
Back under way in Paris.
Barca have it all to do. They have never won a Champions League match after being 2-0 down. Mission one is stopping PSG scoring again. The players are back out. Here we go...
Freddie Caine: Verratti is brilliant, the heir to Xavi/Pirlo/Scholes with an added bit of bite to his tackling
Kyle: Brilliant performance from PSG. They deserve to be 3 or 4 up. Barcelona's defending so far has been appalling.
garett switzer: Barca have been dismal, and two worst players have been Iniesta & Messi. Has that sentence been said once in the last 8 years?
