Laurent Blanc’s men went into the match knowing that they needed to score three goals if they were to overturn the 3-1 defeat that they suffered at the Parc de Princes in the first-leg.
Their hopes of doing that all but disappeared with only 13 minutes played inside the Camp Nou.
After Andres Iniesta had dribbled from his own half, beating three players as he went, he threaded a delicate ball through to Neymar, who took the ball around Salvatore Sirigu before tapping into an open net.
David Luiz, who had been nutmegged twice just a week before by Luis Suarez, again didn’t cover himself in glory as he failed to get close enough to his Brazilian team-mate.
It took just 20 more minutes for Barcelona to go 2-0 up on the night and 5-1 on aggregate.
This time it was Dani Alves who supplied the cross and Neymar, unmarked in the centre of the PSG penalty area, glanced his header past Sirigu.
