Barca lost to PSG in the 90th minute.

In the early hours of October 2nd, Barcelona took the lead but ultimately lost 1-2 to PSG at home in the Champions League qualifying round.

Following the Champions League draw, fans anticipated a fiery match between two clubs boasting some of the world's most exciting attacking lineups. However, this scenario did not materialize at Lluis Companys.

PSG were missing three of their most valuable attacking stars (Ousmane Dembele, Desire Doue, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia), and therefore had to accept being dominated by the home team Barcelona for most of the first half.

After numerous attacking attempts, Barcelona finally reaped the rewards with the opening goal in the 19th minute. Following a mistake by Vitinha, Pedri passed the ball to Marcus Rashford on the left wing. The former Manchester United player delivered a precise cross for Ferran Torres to finish from close range, beating the goalkeeper.

Barca dominated the game at home.

Rashford extended his impressive run of form with his sixth consecutive game scoring or assisting at club level. In his last four matches, the 1997-born striker has set up goals for his teammates in each game.

After conceding a goal, PSG tried to fight back. The most notable attacks from the reigning European champions came from the full-back duo of Achraf Hakimi and Nuno Mendes.

After Hakimi's long-range shot was blocked in the 30th minute, Mendes made his mark with a solo run past two home players before passing to Seny Mayulu. The youngster born in 2006 capitalized on Pau Curbasi's defensive error to unleash a decisive shot from just outside the 16.5-meter line, leaving Wojciech Sszcesny helpless.

In the second half, Barca didn't have as much possession but instead created some excellent opportunities to regain the lead. In the 63rd minute, Zabarnyi made a mistake, giving Dani Olmo a chance to shoot from close range. However, Hakimi managed to get back and make a crucial save to correct his teammate's error.

Towards the end of the match, PSG unexpectedly increased the pace of their attack. At this point, Barcelona's defense revealed its weaknesses. After a series of missed opportunities by Lee Kang-in and Mendes, Goncalo Ramos brought joy to the few visiting fans with a precise volley from Hakimi's cross in the 90th minute.
