Luis Enrique could celebrate victory on his return to Barcelona, with Goncalo Ramos earning Champions League holders Paris Saint-Germain a late 2-1 win.
Match Report
PSG had stood firm against Barcelona's early push before squandering late chances, but substitute Ramos ended up having the final say at Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys.
Barcelona started strongly and could have taken the lead 14 minutes in after Lamine Yamal set Ferran Torres in behind with an outside-of-the-boot throughball, but after rounding the goalkeeper, he was denied by Illia Zabarnyi in front of the goal line.
Just five minutes later, Torres did find the breakthrough, meeting Marcus Rashford's low cross first time to beat Lucas Chevalier.
Wojciech Szczesny tipped away Achraf Hakimi's left-sided free-kick before PSG found their equaliser. Nuno Mendes advanced down the left and then found Senny Mayulu, who lifted a calm finish over the goalkeeper.
Barcelona started the second half slowly but should have retaken the lead when Dani Olmo pounced on a loose clearance, only to see his effort charged down by Hakimi on the line shortly after the hour.
With time running out to find a winner, Lee Kang-in almost had an instant impact off the bench as he weaved his way through a crowded box before curling a low shot off Szczesny's far post.
But PSG's late pressure eventually paid off with a counter-attack as Hakimi's perfectly weighted cross teeing up the unmarked Ramos to fire in a 90th-minute winner.
Data Debrief: PSG keep winning streak alive
PSG have had a lot of joy in Barcelona in recent years, having now won their last three games away to the Blaugrana, which makes them the first team to do so in major European competition.
In fact, Barca have only lost two of their last 13 Champions League home matches, with both of those defeats coming against the Parisiens.
PSG have now won their last five matches in Europe's top competition, a run that includes last season's final, by an aggregate scoreline of 14-2.
This match was fairly evenly split, however, with PSG having 15 shots worth 1.52 expected goals (xG) to Barcelona's 12 worth 1.31 xG.

So this award is given to those who pocket Yamal? Yamal made him to concede a yellow card and a free kick. If he contained him cleanly, then I would accept. We don't take you to contain someone using tough tackles. Even Mendes was supposed to get a red card but Madrid fans cannot say it.
The only way Yamal was able to get out of Mendez pocket was through cut through passes the yellow card was just a late test of strength after a kick and run from Yamal and the other foul you guys yapp about is a negligence from other players.

exactly, just ask them why the coach move him to the front bad belle full everywhere
Because he wants to show you how prolific Mendez is and can be and guess what Yamal got a yellow on the substitute whom Mendez trained to keep him quiet 🤫 😂😂😂

if not for the referee lenience Mendes would have been sent out for being aggressive on Yamal twice,is that haters called pocketing,I pity your ignorance

So how did Mendes get a yellow card? How did Mendes concede a free kick. Yamal could not have played better but enemies who think he was pocketed by Mendes are just jealous of Yamal. A player cannot make you to concede set pieces and cards and you boast of pocketing.
Guy Mendez has been pocketing Yamal is a fact that you Barca fans need to acknowledge the foul is as a result of other players not doing their diligence and him Mendez trying to cover their sh*t and on the card it was not like Yamal dribble past him he only played a kick and run and Mendez tested Yamal’s stamina and Yamal failed but the card must come out as it was late.

One thing is clear. Paris had been consistently playing with same players for years so much that they understand each other. It's different from Barcelona. Barcelona playing with young talents still gaining the rhyme makes the deference. Paris did not out play Barcelona. Actually Paris has big characters game changer.
you are very confused, Paris have beaten you 3 times at your home , last 3 meetings, 3 defeats. and you say paris did not out play Barca. delete this ur comment

everybody saying it's the B team of PSG by having a few players out of the squad....mind that Barcelona also do not have the likes of raphinia gavi fermin joan garcia and people who were comparing this Barcelona with last year's Barcelona they are missing inigo and thats clearly visible you need a left footed CB in your team....and with gerad martin in the back line lol....what did you expect.....first of all flicks system works wonders when raphinia plays that was clearly visible is the previous season.....the press starts from him cutting those passing lines.....just running after the ball doesn't do you any good and that's what rashford and ferran were doing....just look at the match against bayern last season with the presence of fermin and raphinia...look at how the game turned out....and man...what has happened to olmo....the olmo last season was clinical...made correct decisions.... anyways Even in this game Barcelona were doing well untill PSG scored their first goal....and then second half was a disaster...psg with their arieal duals even though they are not known for having tall players....they kept pressing Barcelona when barca tried playing off the back and when they played long balls psg just won most of the arial duals..but tbh....with the chances created by barca in the first half if Barcelona had converted that....it might have been a different story and not to mention the missed from the PSG side...no matter who and how many players were out you need to be able to win games like these and PSG did that....where as Barcelona would need their whole best starting 11 to win games like these... anyways psg just looks a little more well drilled than Barcelona.
😆😆😆😆😆 if if well you can as well go in and use your hand and throw in the ball in the net and be happy deluded fan

You just forgot that PSG didn't have four to five key players while their Goalkeeper then was sold. But you have your mouthed and arrogant LAMINE YAMAL and your best players on the pitch. Accept for your boss PSG
