Ferran Torres gave Barça the lead in the 19th minute, finishing Marcus Rashford’s cross after Pedri forced a turnover high up the pitch. PSG, however, responded before half-time through youngster Senny Mayulu, who coolly converted after a dazzling run from Nuno Mendes.

The second half belonged to Luis Enrique’s men. Lee Kang-in hit the post, Wojciech Szczęsny was called into key saves, and Barça looked second-best for much of the final 30 minutes. With the game seemingly headed for a draw, Achraf Hakimi surged down the right and delivered a pinpoint cross for Ramos to slot home the winner.

Barcelona lacked sharpness in attack and composure in midfield, while PSG impressed despite missing several big names. The result leaves Hansi Flick with plenty to ponder as his side suffered a wake-up call in front of their home fans.
