PSG strike late to stun Barcelona in the Champions League | OneFootball

One of the most anticipated games of this Champions League phase ended with a French victory. On Wednesday, Paris Saint-Germain defeated Barcelona 2-1 at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys in Spain, during the second round of the competition.

In the first half, Barcelona opened the scoring with Ferrán Torres, but the Parisians equalized with Mayulu. In the final minutes of the match, Gonçalo Ramos scored the winning goal for PSG.

The game had many absences from both teams. Barcelona could not count on Raphinha and Fermín López, while PSG did not have Marquinhos, Désiré Doué, and Ousmane Dembélé, who was awarded the Ballon d'Or last week.

Standings

With the victory, PSG achieves its second win after two games, with six points earned. In the tiebreaker criteria, the French are in third place. Barcelona, on the other hand, has only three points, after defeating Newcastle in the first round. The Spaniards are in 17th place.

Match Highlights

First Half

The first chance of the game was for Barcelona. Lamine Yamal launched Ferrán Torres, who received the ball in depth, dribbled past goalkeeper Chevalier and was about to score, but defender Zabarnyi cleared it almost off the line.

Barcelona's goal didn't take long to come. At 19 minutes, Barça stole the ball. Pedri opened on the left with Rashford, who quickly delivered a “sweet” pass to Ferrán Torres, deadly in the finish to open the scoring for the Spaniards.

PSG reacted and began to make their presence felt in the attack. Until, at 38 minutes of the first half, Nuno Mendes made a great individual play and found Mayulu, who shot past goalkeeper Szczesny to tie the match.

A few minutes later, it was Barcola's turn to face the goalkeeper, but the Frenchman squandered the chance for PSG to take the lead.

Second Half

The first dangerous move of the second half came only at 19 minutes. After a rebound from goalkeeper Chevalier, Dani Olmo had an open goal to put Barcelona back in the game. However, the Barcelona midfielder was stopped by Achraf Hakimi, who cleared it off the line.

PSG threatened again towards the end, at 37 minutes of the second half. Kang-In Lee made an individual play, invaded the area, and hit the post.

In stoppage time, PSG scored the winning goal with Gonçalo Ramos. The Portuguese received from Hakimi and didn't waste the opportunity in front of the goal.
