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":2,"featured_media":55876,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":["post-55875","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55875","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=55875"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55875\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/55876"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=55875"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=55875"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=55875"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
