"For an hour they had gone at each other; for the last half an hour, as Barcelona tired, PSG had taken a step forward, turning the screw bit by bit, and in the end perhaps justice had been done. Above all, though, the feeling at the end was that this had been a lot of fun and that these are very good sides, even if Luis Enrique's remain perhaps a step ahead, even with illustrious absentees, the Ballon d'Or winner, Ousmane Dembele, among them."
"Achraf Hakimi had warned that this time Lamine Yamal would be facing the world's best left-back and that, anyway, they would try not to leave Nuno Mendes one one on. So the very first time he got the ball Lamine Yamal took on three of them instead, spinning away after 85 seconds, roulette included, to set up an opening for Torres."
A last-second PSG goal, started deep in their half when Lee Kang-in turned and escaped, ended with Goncalo Ramos sliding the ball under Wojciech Szczesny, securing a dramatic victory over Barcelona. The match featured intense end-to-end action, 26 shots, and mutual pressing from the first moments. Barcelona led for much of the game, but tired late as PSG grew stronger and applied pressure incrementally. The contest showcased high-quality, committed play from both sides, with standout individual moments such as Lamine Yamal taking on multiple defenders to create openings.
