PSG were deserved winners of last season’s Champions League – as part of the treble – when they blew away Inter Milan 5-0 in the final.<\/p>\n
Spanish champions Barca had been arguably the most exciting team to watch until their semi-final exit at Inter’s hands.<\/p>\n
So many eyes on Wednesday were on the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys, which remains Barcelona’s temporary home until the Nou Camp is ready.<\/p>\n
Impressively, PSG came away with all three points – despite injuries to their first-choice front three of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Ousmane Dembele and Desire Doue, plus captain Marquinhos – while they lost midfielder Joao Neves in the warm-up.<\/p>\n
Barca started brightly, with Rashford and Lamine Yamal impressing on the flanks, and got the opening goal.<\/p>\n
But former Barcelona boss Luis Enrique’s visiting side showed their class with their lung-busting full-backs assisting both goals.<\/p>\n
Mayulu, 19, struck his second Champions League goal – with his first coming in the final in Munich.<\/p>\n
PSG had a host of late chances, with Lee Kang-in hitting the post before fellow substitute Ramos bagged the winner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"PSG were deserved winners of last season’s Champions League – as part of the treble – when they…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":278805,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[45],"tags":[221,62,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-278804","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-soccer","8":"tag-soccer","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-united-states","11":"tag-unitedstates","12":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115319876186667250","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/278804","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=278804"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/278804\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/278805"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=278804"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=278804"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=278804"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
