Paris Saint-Germain wins over Barcelona in title defense campaign
Paris Saint-Germain achieved an exciting victory against Barcelona with a score of 2-1 in their match during the second round of the 2025-2026 Champions League season, at the “Montjuïc” Stadium.
Both teams entered the match with high morale, as the Parisian team secured a major win in their opening game against Italian side Atalanta with a 4-0 result, while Barcelona had previously defeated Newcastle 2-1 in an thrilling encounter in England.
The match saw an attacking start from both sides, with a clear tactical distinction between German coach Hansi Flick, the Blaugrana's manager, and Spanish coach Luis Enrique, PSG’s coach.
Barcelona opened the scoring in the first minute when star Ferran Torres scored after a ground shot from inside the penalty area on the right side of PSG goalkeeper Lucas Chavalie, exploiting a fine cross from the left flank to give his team an early lead.
After conceding the goal, PSG quickly equalized before halftime through a powerful shot by Sini Mailo, who capitalized on a pass from Nuno Mendes, placing the ball into the net to restore parity for the Parisian team and highlight their strong competitive intent in the match.
