In a thrilling encounter, Paris Saint-Germain secured a dramatic victory over Barcelona with a last-minute goal from Gonçalo Ramos. The match, played at the Lluís Companys Stadium, saw both teams go all out, but it was PSG who emerged victorious after a relentless performance from both sides.
The match was high-paced from the outset, with both teams pressing and creating chances. Barcelona set the tone early on, with Ferran Torres scoring from the ground after a brilliant assist from Marcus Rashford. PSG quickly responded, leveling the score thanks to a powerful run from Nuno Mendes, who tore through Barcelona’s defense and assisted Senny Mayulu for the equalizer. The match continued at breakneck speed, with both sides testing the goalkeepers and defensive units.
Barcelona’s Lamine Yamal was a constant threat, taking on PSG’s defense with skill and agility. Despite his efforts, PSG’s defense, led by Mendes and Achraf Hakimi, proved formidable. The French side had several opportunities to take the lead, with Bradley Barcola coming close to scoring and Lee Kang-in hitting the post.
As the match progressed, Barcelona began to tire, while PSG’s relentless pressing kept them on the front foot. In the final moments, with just seconds remaining, Lee Kang-in managed to escape a challenging Barcelona defense and sparked a final counterattack. The ball found its way to Ramos, who calmly slotted it past Wojciech Szczesny to secure all three points for PSG.
The match was a testament to PSG’s resilience and determination. Despite missing key players, including their Ballon d’Or winner, Ousmane Dembélé, the Parisian side displayed incredible fitness and composure, outlasting a Barcelona team that had shown flashes of brilliance but ultimately fell short in the dying moments.
In the end, it was a fitting conclusion to a game that had been full of passion, skill, and end-to-end action. PSG’s late winner highlighted their depth and ability to finish games, leaving Barcelona with a bitter taste as they were unable to capitalize on their early dominance.
