WATCH: Monaco re-take lead against Barcelona in Champions League opener

  /  autty

Barcelona have battled bravely with 10 men for over an hour in their first league phase match of the 2024-25 Champions League. They even managed to equaliser after falling behind in the early stages, but Monaco have now re-established the lead that they once held.

Eric Garcia’s red card had Barcelona on the back foot early on, and things got worse when Monaco opened the scoring a few minutes later. Remarkably, Lamine Yamal found an equaliser for the 10 men inside the first half, but the Ligue 1 side have now gone 2-1 up courtesy of George Ilenikhena.
