Shortly before the end of an intensive top game, defending champion Paris has Saint-Germain FC Barcelona shocked and yet scored the winning goal.
Ferran Torres (19th minute) initially scored the lead for Barcelona on match day 2: 1 (1: 1), the only 19 -year -old Senny Mayulu equalized for the guests from Paris (37th) and Goncalo Ramos succeeded (90th). This means that PSG is full of six points, while Barcelona had to accept the first defeat in the competition.
Both trainers rotated properly compared to their league victories last weekend. At Barcelona, Lamine Yamal celebrated his starting eleven comeback after his groin injury, and Ferran Torres also moved in. Robert Lewandowski sat on the bench, among other things. In the first minute, Yamal brought his colleague Torres into a promising position, but the attacker’s shot was still blocked.
First saves Zabarnyi, then Ferran Torres still meets
After a good ten minutes, the guests also showed their first goal approach: the imposed Ilya Zabarnyi came to the header in the penalty area of the Catalans, but put the ball just over the goal. Torres and Zabarnyi, the two main characters on the first chances, were also the focus of a quarter of an hour: Lucas Chevalier in the Paris Gate was already beaten, Torres hurried past the goalkeeper after a great exterior pass from Yamal, but Zabarnyi grown onto the orphaned housing at the last second.
However, Zabarnyi could no longer help in the 19th minute: Vitinha undertook an unfamiliar miscarriage, Yamal opened with a pass on Pedri, from which the ball came to Marcus Rashford on the left of the penalty area, the ball was wonderfully transverse and Ferran Torres already scored his fifth place. The lead was definitely deserved at this time, the Catalans were the more active and dangerous team.
PSG better in the game after half an hour – and also successful
After half an hour, Achraf Hakimi then checked Wojciech Szczesny in the Barcelona goal with a free kick in the long corner, but the pole confidently fought out this degree. But the defending champion was better in the game.
Szczesny had no chance in the 38th minute – Nuno Mendes dragged the ball to the front of the field from his left side, the Catalans did not really attack the Portuguese, Mendes played the ball as a centrally positioned Mayulua, Pau Cubarsi grown and then the youngster ice cold equalized. Shortly afterwards, Bradley Barcola almost even achieved the Parisian leadership after a strong solo on the left in the penalty area, but shot just over the crossbar (41.). The overall 1: 1 was okay.
Hakimi prevents Barca leadership – the post that of PSG
The game was and remained extremely intense, PSG came into the second half a little more present and had one or two promising ending, but the Catalans also radiated danger, especially in the switchover over Yamal. And so Barcelona also had the best chance in the second half after an hour. After a quick attack over the right, Zabarnyi fought off a ball in the middle very unhappily, Dani Olmo came to the end near the penalty point, but his shot was blocked by Hakimi in front of the goal line at the last second.
Later Ramos winning goal
Both teams did not seem to want to take the very big risk in view of the respective opening victory and the strength of their opponent in the final phase. However, the guests would have kidnapped three points from Catalonia: In the 83rd minute, the only substituted Kang -in Lee Halbrechts shot down in Barcelona’s penalty area, but only hit the left post – Szczesny would no longer have come. However, the French looked still fitter in the final minutes, had more to do and rewarded themselves when Hakimi after wing on the right with a perfectly tempered pass found the Joker Ramos in the middle, who was 2-1.
The next opponents of the two title candidates in the premier class are called Olympiacos Piraeus for Barcelona and Bayer Leverkusen for PSG in mid -Olympiacos.
