Paris Saint-Germain pulled off a dramatic 2-1 victory over Barcelona on Wednesday night, with Goncalo Ramos scoring a 90th-minute winner at the Olympic Stadium.
Barcelona took the lead in the 19th minute through Ferran Torres, who finished off a slick move involving Lamine Yamal and Pedri, before Marcus Rashford’s quick first-time pass set him free to slot past Lucas Chevalier.
Despite missing several key players, PSG grew into the game and equalised just before half-time when Nuno Mendes tore down the left flank, cut the ball across, and Senny Mayulu fired home.
Both teams traded chances in a lively second half. Yamal dazzled with his flair but was repeatedly tested by Mendes, while Dani Olmo saw his shot cleared off the line by Achraf Hakimi. At the other end, Kang-in Lee curled an effort against the post as PSG pushed forward.
In the dying moments, Hakimi broke Barcelona’s high defensive line and squared for Ramos, who calmly finished to hand the French champions a decisive win against one of their fiercest rivals.
The result strengthens PSG’s position in the group stage and hands coach Luis Enrique, returning to his former club, a memorable victory, despite being without stars like Ousmane Dembele, Desire Doue, and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
