Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) secured a dramatic 2-1 victory over Barcelona at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys, thanks to a late goal from Gonçalo Ramos.

Barcelona took the lead in the 19th minute through Ferran Torres, assisted by Marcus Rashford. PSG, however, responded before halftime, with Senny Mayulu scoring in the 38th minute after a strong run from Nuno Mendes.
The second half saw both teams vying for the winning goal. Achraf Hakimi, who had a strong game, blocked a Dani Olmo shot in the 64th minute to prevent Barcelona from taking the lead.
