BARCELONA, Dec 11 (AP): Lionel Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez all scored to lead Barcelona to a thrilling 3-1 comeback win over Paris Saint-Germain Wednesday, as the Spanish club snatched first place in Group F of the Champions League from the French side.
Messi canceled out Zlatan Ibrahimovic's opener by scoring from a cross by Suarez in the 19th minute, taking his competition record to 75 goals.
With both sides already qualified for the last 16, they traded chances in a free-flowing first half before Neymar tilted the game in the hosts favor by netting with a spectacular long-distance drive three minutes from halftime.
Suarez tapped in Neymar's rebound to seal the victory in the 77th.
The first standout performance by Barcelona's trio of star strikers came against the only side to have beaten it in Europe this season.
