Desire Doue, Lucas Hernandez, Vitinha and Fabian Ruiz scored for PSG, who retained their position at the top of the Champions League standings with a perfect record. Barcelona found the net through Xavi Espart and Lamine Yamal but were unable to prevent their opponents from claiming all three points

Barcelona struggled to maintain possession in the early exchanges, and their problems were compounded when Dembele appeared to suffer a hamstring injury before the midway point of the first half, forcing him off the field. Doue scored shortly before half-time

Barcelona eventually drew level through Espart, who marked his Champions League debut by racing through the PSG defence and finishing past Safonov to silence the home crowd

With injuries to Kvaratskhelia and Marquinhos disrupting PSG's rhythm, Barcelona began to gain control of the contest. Torres came close to putting the visitors ahead but struck the post from close range with 20 minutes remaining

PSG capitalised on the resulting corner, with Lucas Hernandez rising to head home and restore the hosts' advantage against the run of play. Barcelona responded once more as Yamal outpaced Warren Zaire-Emery and squeezed the ball past Safonov from a tight angle to make it 2-2 with 12 minutes left
