'I think Pedri is Harry Potter' - Luis Enrique expects FC Barcelona star to magic up problems for Paris Saint-Germain

A late goal from Goncalo Ramos gave PSG a famous win against Barcelona in an early season clash between two Champions League favourites.

The hosts started quickly at their makeshift home, with Ferran Torres going close just a few minutes before a superb Marcus Rashford cross enabled the Spaniard to tap in to open the scoring.

Barcelona were in the ascendancy from there but a spell of carelessness in defence allowed PSG back into it, with Nuno Mendes slipping in a perfect pass for Senny Mayulu to equalise before half-time.

The second half began with both sides equal but it was PSG who applied the early pressure, with Bradley Barcola going close before a heroic block from Achraf Hakimi stopped a certain Dani Olmo goal with 20-odd minutes left.

Despite a brief lull, substitutions changed the game as Luis Enrique went for the win, with PSG dominating the final exchanges before Hakimi got in behind the home defence to lay it on a plate for Goncalo Ramos, whose first-time finish secured three points for the defending champions.

De Jong reacts

“Very disappointing feeling at the end, when you concede in the last minute of the game, to lose at home, you have to be disappointed,” says Frenkie de Jong.

“They were better in the final stages, in the second half in general. We began the game better. So it went back and forward, but it's true they were better in the second half.

We were also missing players. It was a good game to show us where we are at. We are one of the top teams in Europe, there is a long way to go in Champions League still.

“This loss will hurt us, but it will not be decisive. We always want to win, so we are not happy, we know we need to improve, we know that, and will do it,” he added.

GOAL! Barcelona 1-2 PSG

90 +1 mins

GOAL! PSG have surely won it!

Again it looks so simple too. They spread it wide to Hakimi, who himself is in behind the Barca defence on the wing. All he has to do it look up and play an early cross to Ramos, who is also running ahead of the Barca defence, and the Portugues striker side-foots a first-time effort into the back of the net!

There’ll be three minutes of added time at the end if this one, with PSG looking the likelier of the team to grab a winner.
