Highlights of PSG 2-3 Barcelona.
Playing at home, PSG proactively pushed their formation forward. However, the attacks from the Ligue 1 representatives were too disjointed and failed to trouble the Barcelona defense.
While the attacking line was still struggling to find a way to approach Ter Stegen's goal, PSG's defenders showed confusion in defending against aerial balls. In the 25th minute, Gianluigi Donnarumma rushed out but missed the ball, nearly causing the home team to concede a goal.
Conversely, Barca persistently defended and waited for opportunities from attacks down the flanks. In the 37th minute, the visitors made the difference with a run down the wing by Lamine Yamal. The young star's cross was too difficult for Donnarumma to hold onto, and Raphinha was in the right place at the right time to tap the rebound into the home team's net.
Barca played impressively away from home.
In the second half, PSG launched a relentless attack and scored two goals within the first few minutes. With Kylian Mbappe underperforming, Ousmane Dembele equalized for the home side with a powerful shot into the top corner of the net against his former club in the 48th minute. Three minutes later, Lee Kang-in initiated an attack down the right wing. Vitinha broke through and fired a diagonal shot into the net, putting PSG ahead.
In a difficult moment, coach Xavi made some accurate substitutions to help Barca turn the tide. In the 61st minute, Pedri came on. With his first touch, he assisted Raphinha, who finished with a one-touch shot to equalize 2-2. In the 75th minute, coach Xavi brought Andreas Christensen onto the field. Also with his first touch, the Danish center-back headed the ball into the net, securing a 3-2 victory for the La Liga representatives.
