Why would you use that match when you can turn to a league table to compare the two Spanish teams? In the absence of PSG playing in England, I daresay we have to use matches between the sides to help form an opinion. Not just the result, because in a tight knockout match that can often swing either way, but the performance too. And it was pretty clear there was a gulf in class between the French and English champions last year. The top boys they've got are also a notch above anything in England - Thiago Silva, Ibrahimovic - even Verratti and that midfield looks much more fluid than any equivalents across the Channel.
Two games whereby the teams were equally matched over 180 minutes isn't exactly the kind of overwhelming proof that would back up your argument. Just like Sociedad beating Barcelona 1-0 isn't any kind of sample size that would allow you to draw any conclusions.
In terms of the "top boys they've got are also a notch above anything in England", I'd say Aguero is a notch above any of those player's you've mentioned. He'd be making Ibra's scoring look mediocre in that "Ligue".
