Paris Saint-Germain shocked Barcelona with a dramatic late winner from Gonçalo Ramos to seal a vital Champions League victory at the Camp Nou.
The clash, billed as one of the standout ties of the group stage, lived up to its billing as both sides went toe-to-toe in a pulsating contest. Barcelona, roared on by their home supporters, had the better of the opening exchanges, with Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski both going close.
PSG, however, grew into the match and began to assert themselves through the brilliance of Kylian Mbappé and the creativity of Ousmane Dembélé, who was facing his former club. Gianluigi Donnarumma produced crucial saves to keep the French champions in the game as Barcelona pressed for a breakthrough.
With the game seemingly heading for a draw, Ramos delivered the decisive moment in the 88th minute. Latching onto a clever through ball, the Portuguese striker showed composure to slot past Marc-André ter Stegen and send the travelling PSG fans into raptures.
The result gives Luis Enrique’s side a huge boost in their campaign and underlines their status as genuine contenders. For Barcelona, the defeat is a bitter blow as they face mounting pressure to qualify from a challenging group.
PSG now sit in a commanding position, while Barcelona will need to respond quickly if they are to avoid another early European setback.
