Paris Saint-Germain secured a thrilling 2-1 victory over Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League, making history as the first club to beat the Catalans in three successive European away games. The match started at a frenetic pace, with Lamine Yamal showcasing his exceptional skill by beating multiple PSG players with a dazzling run in the early minutes.

Ferran Torres opened the scoring for Barcelona with a well-taken goal, but PSG quickly responded with Senny Mayulu scoring an equalizer just before halftime. The first half saw both teams creating scoring opportunities, with PSG's Vitinha and Nuno Mendes impressing with their defensive and offensive contributions.

The match-winning moment came in the 90th minute when Gonçalo Ramos scored the decisive goal, securing PSG's 2-1 victory. This dramatic win marked a significant achievement for PSG, solidifying their reputation as a formidable force in European football.

PSG's swift breaks posed a significant threat to their opponents. Meanwhile, Illia Zabarnyi nearly scored from a corner kick. As the match progressed, midfield congestion made it challenging for either team to gain control, with both sides struggling to maintain possession.

The deadlock was broken when Lamine Yamal's precise pass found Ferran Torres, who initially had his goalbound shot cleared by Zabarnyi. However, Torres made no mistake the second time around, sliding home the opener in the 19th minute after a brilliant assist from Marcus Rashford.

As the game approached the 30-minute mark, Barcelona gained the upper hand, but PSG remained a threat on the counter-attack. Bradley Barcola had a golden opportunity to score but couldn't capitalize. Meanwhile, goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny made a crucial save on a free-kick from Achraf Hakimi.

Nuno Mendes' forceful run drew a foul from Frenkie de Jong, who was booked. Shortly after, Mendes' attack led to Senny Mayulu scoring the equalizer. Barcola then had another chance to score but missed again, leaving PSG's fans anxious as halftime approached.

Barcelona adopted a more cautious approach in the second half, and PSG capitalized on some sloppy passing to maintain possession with ease. Dani Olmo was booked for breaking up a PSG attack, while Marcus Rashford's energetic runs were among the few bright spots for Barcelona as they struggled to create meaningful chances.

The momentum shifted slightly as Achraf Hakimi made a crucial goal-line stop on Dani Olmo's effort, and Barcelona attempted to regain control with long-range shots. Hansi Flick's triple substitution injected fresh energy into the team. Pau Cubarsi and Ferran Torres made timely interventions to keep PSG at bay as Barcelona pushed for the winner. Lee Kang-in's powerful shot hit the post, narrowly missing the target.

The visitors' relentless pressure paid off as Gonçalo Ramos exploited Barcelona's high defensive line to score the winning goal. This victory marked a significant milestone for PSG, who have now lost only once in their last seven UEFA Champions League matches, with six wins in that period.
