FC Barcelona's passes and fails in the 2-1 defeat to PSG
FC Barcelona 's unbeaten run came to an end, losing 2-1 to Paris Saint-Germain at Montjuic on Matchday 2 of the UEFA Champions League group stage , with goals from Senny Mayulu and Goncalo Ramos.
Luis Enrique's team easily won the tactical duel against Hansi Flick and were rewarded near the end, as the Portuguese center forward scored the winning goal in the 90th minute of the match at the Estadi Olimpic.
In the next matchday, FC Barcelona will host Olympiacos of Greece, while PSG will face Bayer Leverkusen away.
Paul Cubarsí
He was one of the key players in FC Barcelona's efforts to salvage a point until the 90th minute, when PSG's second goal was lost. He effectively halted several attacks from the French team.
Wojciech Szczesny
His saves were instrumental in keeping Barcelona in the game against the constant attacks of Luis Enrique's team, who sought the opponent's goal until the end of the match.
Ferran Torres
The winger was the player who caused the most danger to the PSG defense, not only by scoring the goal but also by making plays that fell short but still caused concern in the Parisian back line.
Lamine Yamal
While he's certainly returning from injury, he hasn't been able to take advantage of his ability to break through Luis Enrique's team's lines.
Pedri
He usually dominates the FC Barcelona midfield, but the Parisian midfielders' strong marking has meant he's been unable to be comfortable on the ball and his interventions are less than normal.
Frenkie de Jong
The Dutchman suffered the same marking as Pedri and was unable to shine, handing the midfield role over to Vitinha and Fabián Ruiz to control the tempo of the match, especially in the second half
