00:00Welcome back as the Barca team re-emerge for the second half against the reigning champions
00:06Paris Saint-Germain with a score at 1-1. It's been a really exciting game so far.
00:13Wide open as we're expecting. PSG have come from behind to level things up even despite the fact
00:19they're missing three key forward players. No Dembele, no Douay, no Kvitschikvar Eskevier.
00:25Lamidi Mal there back in the Barca team. They led through Ferro Torres.
00:30Senemayulu, there he is, got the equalizing goal for PSG with half-time fast approaching.
00:36Both sides aiming to make it. Back-to-back wins to start off their league phase of this year's
00:41Champions League. Barca last year, well, they were superb. They were second in the end behind
00:46Liverpool after eight games. But PSG had to go through that playoff round to reach the last 16 stage.
00:55There is now, Maca, that perhaps lack of jeopardy at this stage. Match day two, still six games to go
01:01beyond this. But given the prestige of this game, it's one that both teams really want to win.
01:06Yeah, I think so, yeah. And particularly Barca because they're at home. They'll want to get,
01:11and of course PSG, a slightly weaker than normal. So I think they'll definitely want to win it.
01:16No half-time changes made here by either team. There was that late change to Paris Saint-Germain starting 11.
01:26The injury to Joao Leves in the warm-up, and Warren Zaire Emery came in for him.
01:35Certainly more options in terms of attacking reinforcements on the bench for Barcelona.
01:39And when you look at their bench, the name of Robert Lewandowski leaps off the page.
01:44I'm sure we'll see him at some stage. Yeah, sort of why. And he'll give them something a bit
01:47different when they're very clever, physically strong.
01:54Here's Rashford. Have a really promising evening of the assist for that Torres goal in the first half.
02:00It's a man who's had great times in the past against Paris Saint-Germain.
02:03Three goals against them. This time at United, two famously at the Parc des Princes.
02:25You may see Barcelona pressing really, really high now.
02:33Yeah, there's a man who's had great times in the past against Paris Saint-Germain.
02:37That's the key.
02:39Zaire Emery.
02:41Zaire Emery.
02:43Zaire Emery.
02:45Zaire Emery.
02:47Zaire Emery.
02:49Zaire Emery.
02:51Zaire Emery.
02:53Zaire Emery.
02:57Zaire Emery.
02:59Zaire Emery.
03:01Zaire Emery.
03:02The first half, their last Champions League trophy came all the way back in 2015.
03:17It's been a long, long wait for them.
03:22It's been a long, long wait for them.
03:27The ball inside for Danny Olmer. Looking for Rashford, that will skip away.
03:49They get to lose a game this season, eight games played, unbeaten.
03:55Only one club on a longer, unbeaten run across Europe's top five leagues than Barcelona.
04:01That club, Crystal Palace.
04:02Crystal Palace, yeah. Oliver Glasner's Crystal Palace.
04:06An amazing win of the weekend against Liverpool.
04:08Then they start their Conference League.
04:11Good phase tomorrow with a trip to Poland to face Dinamo Keefe.
04:17Watch that with us on TNT Sports.
04:19Yeah, this is where it gets difficult for them, doesn't it?
04:21When they start having to travel around Europe on a Wednesday and a Thursday.
04:24Play on a Thursday, but have to travel on a Wednesday.
04:26Get back on the Friday, play on a Sunday.
04:29With their limited squad, this is where it will start getting difficult for them.
04:35A brilliant story.
04:37A brilliant story.
04:44Given away there by Petri, that's a rarity.
04:47Keefe's ball inside the shack for a handball there, but nothing given by our referee, Michael Oliver.
04:55Diong dropping deep between those two centre-backs, but being pressurised by the players there, Mayulou and Mbaye.
05:05This is Fabian Ruiz.
05:11William Pacho.
05:13Going back with Shevardier.
05:17He's only had that one real piece of action in the game when he was beaten by Ferran Torres.
05:21That's the only attempt on target so far in the match from Barcelona.
05:25Not a lot of chances, have they, for being for Barcelona.
05:32Played Champions League football last season with Lille.
05:34Lucas Shevardier reached the last 16 stage.
05:37They're beaten by Borussia Dortmund.
05:39And he felt that PSG raised the standards last year with the way they went about things.
06:03The intensity, the pace, the verve, the vigour.
06:06Yeah.
06:07They've seen an amazing final against Inter that five-goal win.
06:16The sixth team who began that final started this match tonight.
06:20There's four players out injured, Donnarumma, the goalkeeper, moved on.
06:26Yeah, surprisingly, they didn't do a lot of business in the summer, did they?
06:29I think that was a surprise.
06:37The one who's signing in their team this evening, Zabani from Bournemouth.
06:41They certainly trusted a lot of the younger players he had, hoping that they will get better with experience and another year under their belt.
06:56One outfield player, I should say. Of course, Shevardier coming in as the new first-choice goalkeeper as well.
07:01Yeah.
07:02You don't doubt Luis Enrique, his third year in charge now of PSG.
07:11His first two campaigns, they won eight trophies and they came close to the Club World Cup 2 in the summer.
07:18Ibrahim Mbaye now, twisting his way forward.
07:21That last chance, that moment to strike, just lost his balance and there was no power in the effort.
07:28Yeah. I mean, all credit to Jules Koundé.
07:32He does really well, and Bailly here.
07:34Koundé falls over, yet he still gets back up to help Eric Garcia out there, just to put his body on.
07:43And Bailly, because of easily giving that up...
07:47Makeshift forward line at Paris Saint-Germain, which is still causing this slow defence plenty of problems.
08:13Nuno Mendes. It's a nice ball.
08:15That was passed by him. Off and away again here.
08:18There's the only ball there by Mayulu. Back to Barkele.
08:24Barkele past Gerard-Martin, and the effort was a stinging one, but...
08:28Saved fairly countered by Chesney, then Zaire Emery. Back towards Barkele, but the footing was by De Jong.
08:35Back towards Darragle. A forward forward.
08:39He is looking for Hadris champion.
08:41That standup from Nuno Mendes, playing a lovely ball out of defence.
08:47He is again of teners playing on the defence crossfire.
08:48He is, again, fining him by Terra.
08:56His again, fining him byปTettinho.
08:57His again, fining him by.
09:00Hakeem, it's got a way here Hakeem, and the block was off the back of Kuvastien behind for a corner for Paris Saint-Germain.
09:11Yeah, that's worrying down that side of the pitch, face that, Barcola just flies past Gerard-Martin,
09:18and two minutes later Hakeem goes past Gerard-Martin,
09:24so that's a worry, particularly when you've got the likes of Balde on the bench, and Alco on the bench.
09:39They've certainly been the better side, Paris Saint-Germain.
09:44Set-piece threats, Nuno Mendes with this corner, but it's too deep.
09:49Seeing it all when someone was that near Bozeria.
09:54Back amongst friends, Luis Enrique tonight.
10:00Spent eight years playing for Barcelona, and then three years as their manager.
10:12He was in charge when they had that 4-1 win here a couple of campaigns ago,
10:16and they came from behind.
10:19To advance to the semi-final stage at his former club's expense.
10:24From behind to equalise here now, pushing on.
10:27Trying to remember the first time tonight.
10:29This is Mayuthu.
10:32Garcia diving in, but it's a corner once again.
10:35Yeah, they're looking a tiny bit vulnerable now, Barca.
10:39PSG have gone in at half-time, had words off Luis Enrique,
10:45and have come out slightly sharper.
10:47Different type of plan.
10:49Different type of plan.
10:50Different type of plan.
10:51Different type of plan.
10:56Wonderful thrones, trones upste a pair.
10:58Interesting that it got analysed.
11:02I thought the story's been the old journey by PSG.
11:04They troubled you and touched by لو Andolo.
11:05Well, againstBRimi they jolted the club while führt him to it.
11:06Long, long, long, long.
11:07How does it tip?
11:09Well, by PSG!
11:10But shortly by PSG, Luno Mendes brings Daniel Porte.
11:12Muno Mendes against Dani Ormo, where it goes the way of Barcelona.
11:22Champions League nights in these two teams normally mean goals.
11:26They've been 75 in Barca's last 17 home Champions League games.
11:31That's an average of 4.5 per game.
11:35PSG's last three league-phase games have seen them score four times.
11:42These are the two most exciting European teams to watch right now.
11:51Here goes Rashford for Barcelona.
11:54Up against Zabani.
11:57It's a corner for the home team.
12:00Yeah, again, defensively good. Zabani stuck to his task.
12:06Enjoying play for the Catalan Giants, Marcus Rashford.
12:13Well, how could he not enjoy fiercely living there,
12:17playing for this team where he's going to get assists and goals?
12:20Goals.
12:22Petri...
12:24..by Shibabye.
12:29Sakibi, now a break on for PSG.
12:31Dani Ormo is penalised there.
12:33You get the cards shown for Dani Ormo.
12:36Yeah, you take that all day long.
12:38They were breaking, and they were breaking quickly.
12:41Stood on the back of his foot.
12:44Stood on the back of his foot.
12:50You see, they were off.
12:51Hakimi was off.
12:53Mayula was off in front.
12:56He was a European champion last year with Spain.
13:02He was their marquee signing of last summer.
13:04But a great start.
13:06Did fade away.
13:07And there was all those issues with his registration
13:09and whether he could play or not.
13:10All that legal wrangling behind the scenes.
13:13Yeah, I felt for my times, really.
13:16He was stuck in the middle, being promised one thing.
13:18They couldn't deliver.
13:20The charades of getting his registration was a bright mess.
13:35The absence of Fermi Lopez, who'd be his rival for that position,
13:40but he's attitude to injury.
13:50It'll be interesting to see what happens when Rafinha is back fit again,
13:57where he will fit in, because he will be a starter for sure.
14:00Yeah, yeah, he plays, Rafinha plays.
14:02The best 11 is Rafinha, Lewandowski, and Yamal.
14:06Unfortunately for Ferran Torres and Marcus Rashford,
14:08they will be the ones to drop out.
14:10They'll be needed, of course, and they'll be stronger with them.
14:13But if this was the Champions League final,
14:15that's how Hansi Flick would start.
14:17Hikimi.
14:23More and more involved in the game for Paris Ajamal.
14:26Thought he was foul-beared, but the officials felt otherwise.
14:29Fittinia.
14:34Yuna Mendes, had to and by.
14:40Trying to get past Koundé, but Garcia doubled up.
14:43Yamal finds Rashford.
14:46took it.
14:48And the first-time pass back to Gimlade again, but it didn't come off.
14:50Didn't come off.
14:51Barkova.
14:52Mayudu.
14:53Tromble there by Mayudu.
14:55Tromble there by Mayudu, and Zyre Emery...
14:56Tromble there by Mayudu, and Zyre Emery.
14:57Tromble there by Zyre Emery.
15:00There by Gerrard Martin.
15:04And Ormo goes down, he was fouled by Pacho.
15:07He's just 23, with the Apache, the Ecuador international.
15:22Yeah, he's been great, hasn't he?
15:26Wasn't much in that, you can clearly see.
15:37But now it's Hakimi.
15:43Luna Mendes.
15:47Can't get past De Jong, quick free-kick, Koundé.
15:50Now Mendes out of position, Vittini has dropped back to left-back for the time being,
15:54and Vittini is there with that very important challenge.
15:57She's beat Lemao to it.
15:59Yeah, and a really nice pass to Zaire Emery.
16:03Marcela went offside, but now it's Hakimi.
16:07Really good covering play there by Garcia.
16:11And here goes Rashford now, the game opens up once again.
16:17Rashford with the ambitious ball, a pinpoint pass for Lameen-Yemal.
16:23Yemal coming inside and going down and being fouled there.
16:27And Nuno Mendes is in big, big trouble.
16:30He's let him get away with it, I think.
16:32On it booking, Nuno Mendes.
16:34Yeah, he's fortunate.
16:35He said no, haven't he?
16:36He's got away with it, Nuno.
16:41Yeah.
16:45Oh, he has a nibble, doesn't he?
16:47It's definitely a foul.
16:51He's very fortunate.
16:53Very fortunate driving into the penalty area.
16:55I mean, you can't do that, Lameen.
16:57You can't insinuate a yellow card.
16:59You'll get one yourself.
17:01But I think that'll be it now.
17:06I mean, if you're Barcelona, you just give it to Lameen-Yemal and let him just do that.
17:10And if he does it five times, Nuno Mendes is getting sent off.
17:14It's as simple as that.
17:16So you either take him off and put Lucas Hernandez on,
17:20or you run the wrist now in the last half an hour of getting a man sent off.
17:24Well, that was lenience for sure from Michael Oliver.
17:31Nuno Mendes's heart must have been pounding there.
17:34Yeah.
17:36Listen, not every foul is a yellow card, we know that,
17:38and Fabian Ruiz was closing them down,
17:40but the area where the foul was committed,
17:43a man of his ilk, or a boy of his ilk, Lameen-Yemal driving into the penalty area on his left foot.
17:49He was very, very fortunate, Nuno Mendes.
17:53But it will be a free kick and a great position for Lameen-Yemal to size things up.
18:10Lulu lying down behind the wall, hit by Yamal, but it's too high.
18:14Not to mention all the players missing for PSG,
18:17but they do have a good back-up left-back in Lucas Hernandez,
18:20who surely will enter the free sooner rather than later.
18:25Yeah.
18:26I mean, that's certainly something I would be looking at if you're Luis Enrique.
18:30You don't want to lose him for games moving forward, do you, for the sake of it.
18:35And Lucas Hernandez is an experienced left-back, as you rightly said, Joe.
18:40Played in a number of high-profile clubs, very experienced, played for his country, of course he has.
18:46So they've got somebody who can easily slot in and play there.
18:50It's a talking point.
19:08It's a...
19:09I don't know where Barcelona will feel somewhat hard done by...
19:15There's Ferran Torres.
19:16Yeah, give him the ball and get out of his way, let him run at him.
19:20Torres driving forward now, looking towards Rashford, chance here for Almo!
19:25What a block by Hakimi.
19:27Heroic block by Ashraf Hakimi.
19:30Seemed destined to be a goal there, but not to be.
19:33Remarkable defending.
19:35Yeah, just the right thing.
19:39Ferran Torres.
19:40Oh, Hakimi does really well.
19:42I mean, he gets a bit of fortune, but he aims it, getting back on his line.
19:47But he has to score, doesn't he, Dani Almo?
19:49We can't believe that it's fallen for them like that.
19:55The game just swinging back in terms of momentum towards Barcelona.
20:00The dangerous force again, to Yamaha with the corner, to Rashford.
20:08Just bounced up there a touch for Rashford.
20:10Yeah, it did.
20:11It was free, wasn't it?
20:12But it just bounces up.
20:19Oh, Rashford there with a nutmeg on Zaire Emery.
20:21And then brushing off and by.
20:23Now confronted by Fabian Ruiz, and he wins a free kick.
20:26Yeah, it was a free kick, there was a number of little fouls on him.
20:29Nutmeg.
20:36That's a foul.
20:37Stays on his feet.
20:39And then he has another little nibble, Fabian Ruiz.
20:42And here's the save.
20:43Zabania does well.
20:44But Dani Almo can't believe his eyes.
20:47Virtually a stationary ball.
20:49Great block.
20:52Great block.
20:53Great block from the captain.
20:55So here's the first change then, and it's not Nuno Mendes who goes off.
21:00As expected, Hernandez coming on, but it's some bye who has departed.
21:05I wonder if Nuno Mendes gets told to go off the field and not kick anybody.
21:11Put some byes off, of course, to completely different players in different positions.
21:19Rashford here with the free kick.
21:21Punched out by Chivalry.
21:23Yamal kept it low but a couple of yards wide.
21:27You might well see Nuno Mendes playing next wing.
21:31Yeah.
21:32Lucas Hernandez has just told him to get away from Lamine Yamal.
21:37To take off Nuno Mendes, he'd lose so much of his attacking abilities.
21:53Yeah.
21:54He's got a different area.
21:56Here's the right back, Hakimi.
21:59Here he is now, high at the pitch, Nuno Mendes.
22:02With Hernandez over that beat.
22:05Nuno Mendes.
22:07Triple behind for a corner.
22:10It's so open, the game, isn't it?
22:12Not 1-1.
22:14Both teams wanting to go forward, wanting to win the game.
22:17There's no sense of we'll sit back and defend what we have and get a point.
22:35Mayudu's ball.
22:36It's a free header there, but it was just too high.
22:39It was Hernandez it was dropping to.
22:41Mayudu, Zaire Emery.
22:47Mayudu, Zaire Emery.
22:51And Kubati well there, stepping in front of Fabian Ruiz.
22:56He's done well, though, Zubani, hasn't he tonight?
23:00New signing from Bournemouth, as we know.
23:02He's played really well.
23:03Two and a half years on the south coast of England.
23:05Came on so much under the tutelage of Andoni Irioba.
23:06Yeah, he did, like a lot of the players do at Bournemouth, really good manager.
23:31It's De Jong, that's to receive the ball in this area.
23:49See Fabian Ruiz has gone with Frankie De Jong.
23:52Zaire Emery's trying to follow Pedri around.
23:55So it's something that they've changed from the first half,
23:58almost man-to-man in that area.
24:00Some running repairs required here for Frankie De Jong.
24:05So just time for us to tell you that we have a busy evening coming your way tomorrow
24:09with every game live from the UEFA Europa League and the Conference League.
24:14Both from 5pm on TNT Sports and also every game stream live across the Discovery Plus network as well.
24:23It'll be a busy evening. There should be plenty of drama coming your way.
24:27It's a more drama coming our way here tonight because a double change on the way for Barcelona with Robert Lewandowski and Mark Casado.
24:37The two players they'll be bringing on shortly.
24:39N Noah called the 14th quarter of priority.
24:40the 14th quarter of priority.
24:45N
24:53And the 14th quarter of priority.
24:55.
25:00Whether Dion being on a yellow card might be part of his thinking.
25:04Dani Onba in the same category.
25:08It's Nuno Mendes of PSG.
25:10We approach the last 20 minutes.
25:17Fabian Ruiz in space.
25:19Cleanest hit from Fabian Ruiz.
25:22Or is that Fabian Ruiz telling somebody wants to come off?
25:28Yeah, he doesn't catch it properly, does he?
25:30Just bouncing up in front of him, comes off his shin.
25:35He seemed to indicate that he wanted to come off.
25:40He did miss the weekend match against Ozer due to injury.
25:43Yeah, he's not running back much, actually, Joe.
25:46He looks as if he's struggling.
25:52You know, losing Joe Neves if he is injured.
25:57See, he's out of shot there.
26:00He's moving OK, actually.
26:04He's certainly not comfortable.
26:06The squad's not in great shape with a very tough league match
26:12coming up in the weekend when they head to Lille.
26:19Rashford, first time towards Yamal.
26:22Hernandez there just stepped in.
26:24There's that defensive instinct from Lucas Hernandez.
26:27And he's aggressive as well, isn't he?
26:31He's strong.
26:32He doesn't mind putting his foot in.
26:33Lucas Hernandez.
26:36Mayulu.
26:37Bettina.
26:40Keep the Bargala.
26:42The team blocked that one off.
26:46Pedri.
26:47He's not being quite so influential in the second half.
26:51Oh, he hasn't.
26:52He's with more PSG players in and around him.
26:54Yeah, I think it is, yeah.
26:56They've gotten tight to him.
26:57Tried to man-mark him.
27:01It's Fabian Ruiz there waiting to walk off now.
27:04So Danny Olmos going off to be replaced by Casado.
27:09That might mean that De Jong goes a touch further forward.
27:11We'll wait and see.
27:12And Rashford's going off too
27:13to allow for the arrival of Lewandowski.
27:15Yeah.
27:17It's going to be a third change too
27:18with Alejandro Balde back to make his return from injury.
27:30So Lewandowski, 37 years of age,
27:32the oldest player in the Arsenal squad.
27:36Yeah, that's certainly not.
27:37And the chances being with Bayern against PSG
27:38in that final five years ago.
27:40It's a light-for-light change in their back.
27:41Yeah, and that wasn't a surprise, actually.
27:43As you heard of Martin, it's been done a couple of times
27:48down that side of the pitch.
27:51Gonzalo Ramos is on as well.
27:53I think he's come on for Fabian Ruiz.
27:56We will wait.
27:58Yeah, I think that is confirmed now, Gonzalo Ramos.
28:02Yeah.
28:03Coming on for Ruiz.
28:04So that might well see Mayulu drop a touch deeper,
28:06and Ramos now with that more physical focal point
28:09for Paris Saint-Germain.
28:11So all change in terms of personnel from both teams.
28:21There will be a change in the scoreline.
28:23Both goals came in the first half.
28:25First, Torres for Barca.
28:26The equaliser from Mayulu.
28:28Yeah, Ferran Torres has gone out onto the left
28:32where Marcus Rashford was.
28:33Robert Lewandowski, as we know,
28:36typical number nine, right through the middle.
28:41The other changes speak for themselves, really.
28:43He scored three times off the bench this season so far, Lewandowski.
28:48105 goals he's scored over the years playing in this tournament.
28:55Messi and Ronaldo have scored more.
28:59They've got home games to come against Bayern, Spurs, and Spurs, and Spurs.
29:28Spurs and Newcastle, further away trips to Athletic Bilbao and Sporting, so...
29:34Gimmies in that list. No.
29:37And it all depends how bad their injury worries are,
29:40because, of course, you can see them picking up points, no problem at all, but...
29:45When you lose Jaunevas, when you lose Fabian Rubis,
29:48and then the forward line that they've lost this evening,
29:50then you are down to the bare bones, aren't you?
29:54I mean, we have got international breaks that they can...
29:57and a lot of them can get fit during.
30:00Still, it's not ideal for Luis Enrique.
30:04Pedri down here.
30:06Must be a worry for Hansi Flick.
30:08Yeah, there wasn't much in it, wasn't it, at all?
30:20He's OK, thankfully.
30:22There's Rao Rojo there on the bench for Barca.
30:32There's Christensen too behind him.
30:38The Barca's draw in terms of their fixtures coming up is a bit kinder.
30:46Olympiakos here next up.
30:49Home games to come against Frankfurt and Copenhagen.
30:53Away games against Bruges, Chelsea and Slavia, Prague.
30:57Yeah, with all respect, that speaks for itself, doesn't it?
30:59That does, those fixtures.
31:05Quite favourable for Barca.
31:10Six wins in their eight games last season.
31:13Defeat was on match day one away at Bonaco.
31:16Bicca and Dortmund in the knockout rounds,
31:28but then came that unforgettable semi-final against Inter.
31:33She who saw off the English teams in knockout rounds last year,
31:38beating Liverpool and Villa and Arsenal.
31:40Here's Barcala.
31:46That was a nice play, wasn't it, by Barcala.
31:51Lucas Hernandez.
31:53Last quarter of an hour now.
31:55Montjuic.
31:56And here's Ramos of PSG.
31:58Excellent defending by Pau Kibarsi.
32:00Fittinia.
32:07Got the pass away to Hakimi.
32:09Torres went diving in.
32:11There's no foul there by Ferran Torres.
32:13Now, I mean, Yamal.
32:19First time pass to Pedri.
32:21Pedri back towards Yamal again, but Hernandez was there.
32:25Yeah, Pedri was fouled.
32:28I mean, Michael Oliver tried to play on,
32:30which was exactly what you would need to do.
32:31Then Blue for the foul.
32:34That's good tracking back, isn't it?
32:36Ferran Torres, he needs to do that.
32:41And this was Pau Kibarsi.
32:43It was unlucky, actually, Gonzalo Ramos.
32:48Quite amazing, Kibarsi's just 18.
32:50He's so mature, his stature is remarkable.
32:52It's ridiculous, isn't it?
32:55You instantly start talking about Laminya Mal,
32:57because he's 18 and the player he is,
32:59and then tonight you've got...
33:01Mayula, of course.
33:04You've got Mbaye, you're young.
33:06It just all pales into significance now.
33:08There's that many 17 and 18-year-olds
33:10playing at the highest, highest level he can have.
33:14It's a young man's game now.
33:18It's Fernandes at 29,
33:19the oldest player in Paris-Ajumain squad tonight.
33:30Here's Baldi.
33:31against Zaire Emery.
33:38And Kassadou.
33:39Three players around him.
33:42Hakimi goes back to Zabani,
33:43but Hakimi was caught there by...
33:44Yeah, he did.
33:45That's the only yellow card shown to the fast-runners, tough to shoot.
33:49You see what he's just said?
33:50I didn't touch him, ref.
33:54He didn't need to touch him.
33:56That's for sure, but let's see.
33:58No, he doesn't touch him, actually.
34:01I mean, he does touch him, of course, but it wasn't a yellow card, not at all.
34:04Hex off the bench then for the home team here is going to be Mark Bernal.
34:15Well, a Champions League debut for him, he's just 18 as well.
34:20Join the club of teenagers out there on the big stage tonight.
34:24And great to see him back too. It's Petri who goes off, he's been protected by Hansi Flick,
34:29but Mark Baddow missed a year, achieved an ACL injury, came back only a few weeks ago.
34:35Now his first outing in Europe's top competition.
34:45The academy just keeps on giving. Yeah, it does.
34:54Yeah, she will shuffle their packs some more, we're going to see.
35:03Kami Lee coming on, who I think was content to start the game tonight.
35:07One of the more experienced subs they have.
35:11Here's Lewandowski.
35:14Yamal got a shot away, but he was always veering away.
35:21Yeah.
35:24He's been a little bit quiet in the second half, hasn't he, Lamine, Yamal?
35:30Got that nice run, cut inside.
35:36So, the goal scorer, and Barkovet, the two players who go off.
35:43It's the Champions League debut for Quentin Mungentu, who's just 18, his senior debut,
35:49and he came in the weekend against Augsburg in Liga, so quite a week in his young life.
35:54What a wonderful moment for him.
35:58Against Barcelona, of all teams as well, away.
36:04Lee coming on to stick him off the bench and scored against Spurs in the Super Cup a few weeks ago
36:11to start off his campaign when Paris Ajiman won that first European silverware at the campaign.
36:17With those two late goals and forced a shootout.
36:19There's no fear, is there, either, from Luis Enrique.
36:24No bother at all putting 18-year-olds, giving them the debuts here.
36:32They're good enough, certainly old enough, that's what he feared.
36:36No problem at all to get them on the pitch.
36:49It's a foul there, committed by Akubasi.
36:52Yeah, it was as well, it was a silly foul by him.
36:55Doesn't need to go for them, he can't win every single one,
36:58especially up against someone as tall, strong as Gonzalo Ramos.
37:10What, nine minutes to go, the promising set-piece situation for Paris Saint-Germain.
37:14It's the winning goal here at Montjuic, it's Fittinia who's over it along with Lee.
37:26Zabani has moved forward to attack it.
37:30Lee moves away, Fittinia's ball in.
37:33Lucas Hernandez going for it.
37:35It's going to be a corner.
37:38He goes back to Ashraf Hakimi.
37:57Lekimi, Grotinia, Zabani peels away, it's looping, just too high,
38:04although there's a flag up anyway against Gidia Zabani.
38:08He didn't need to be offside, did he, Zabani?
38:12He's just trying to get back onside, good line from Koubasi,
38:16getting everybody up.
38:23He's Grotinia.
38:24Nuno Mendes.
38:34Just a moment to remind you that coming up at the weekend,
38:36we have live coverage coming your way of Leeds against Spurs
38:39from the Premier League, 11 a.m. Saturday morning on air
38:42on TNT Sports 1 for that.
38:45Reminder, too, the Gallagher Prem Rugby continues this weekend
38:48with every match live in round two on TNT Sports and Discovery+.
38:53Chatty for PSG and it comes off the post.
38:57It was a lovely play there from Lee Kang in, not long off the bench.
39:02And that was not far off being a winning goal, maybe.
39:04Yeah, I thought that was in as well.
39:05Once he gets into that position, onto his left foot,
39:08with the kale, I thought it was in.
39:12Goalie well beaten.
39:14Just cannons off the foot of that right post.
39:17They were fortunate, Barca, they give the ball away in a dangerous area.
39:20Goalie.
39:29In these late stages, the game being played now,
39:32in the past as half of the pitch, really.
39:33It's Paris Saint-Germain who are the ones who are looking more likely
39:36to find a winning goal.
39:37It's Hakimi, Lee, that was given away, though.
39:47So Barney in quickly in front of Lewandowski.
39:50A late lunging challenge, the referee played the advantage,
39:53but not second time around, there was another foul that came in.
39:57Now a quick free kick, and on we go.
39:59And PSG showing all the adventure later on in the game now.
40:03Nuno Mendes, Ashraf Hakimi.
40:07Set back for Lee again.
40:10Hakimi took the shot on, and it was Balde with the block.
40:17Yeah, they looked a fresher team, they looked a team more likely to get the winner.
40:23Centre-offs at the ready.
40:27And Andreas Christensen looks to be imminent off the bench.
40:31Eric Garcia's gone down to perhaps force the issue.
40:34Yeah, of course he has.
40:37Wise play by Eric Garcia, Andreas Christensen, who was part of the Chelsea squad,
40:43but won the Champions League, came off the bench in that final four years ago.
40:47Christensen missed almost the whole of last season due to injury.
41:11And he played six games, came off the bench against Newcastle on match day one off the bench.
41:18He in late's honours.
41:19He must hang on for a point, Ruby, at the cost for the time being.
41:24Yeah.
41:32So all five subs have now been made by Hansi Flick.
41:36The lead with the PSG corner, it's a free header there, which in the end produced a pretty comfortable say for Vujicic Chesney.
41:48Yeah, it was Nuno Mendes, just as you said, Joe, free as a bear to the far post.
41:53I think that's what happens.
41:54All the substitutions happen and nobody knows who's picking anybody up and who's Benal, who's late.
41:58Vujicic Chesney, Zayah Emery, Hakeemi with the pass.
42:07This is Lee.
42:11Hakeemi, that's a teasing ballgame.
42:14It's a deflection that made life awkward for Chesney.
42:17Yeah.
42:20Yeah, Barca guilty of giving the ball away a lot now.
42:24Trying to play out from the back, they don't need to play out from the back.
42:28With a couple of minutes to go, because this is all PSG at this moment in time.
42:36It's a great point you make about subs coming on now in the modern game with each team allowed to make five.
42:41We've had, what, nine players have come on so far in this match.
42:45And yes, the players who come on might be there to have an impact in terms of attacking,
42:50but defensively you lose so much of the organisation.
42:55Torres there going down, it's a free kick.
42:57Yeah, and he didn't need to do it, Hakeemi, because Ferran Torres gives the ball away.
43:03Another card now for Ashraf.
43:05Hakeemi, Paris Ajamain's captain.
43:07Why on earth he feels...
43:15You need to, I mean, it was, yeah, nothing in it.
43:19It looked worse than it was right in front of the referees.
43:21Looking where the ball goes, Michael Oliver, and then sees off the corner of his eye a collision.
43:26You might wonder if that's a yellow card, how that Nuno Mendes one wasn't a yellow card.
43:32Well, I think he gave it to Hakeemi, because Hakeemi shouts at him, berates him, didn't he?
43:36I don't think it was for the challenge.
43:38Yeah, doesn't help your case when you unleash a verbal volley towards the referee.
43:41Hakeemi has put up a two-man wall.
43:53Ferran Torres with the free kick.
43:55He went low there, kind of cute one, in towards Lewandowski.
43:58Yeah, that was quite ugly, wasn't it?
44:00Under the way.
44:00There's a break on here, and Lee gets the pass off to Hakeemi.
44:07It's played first time for Njantu, the teenager.
44:11Hakeemi's coming in, it's away by Balde.
44:14All hands on deck back there for Barcelona.
44:19I wonder whether Gonzalo Ramos had to pass it to Njantu.
44:24He's the number nine, he's the centre-forward, because he had not controlled it and hit it.
44:30Vittinia sprays a lovely ball out there to Njantu.
44:37He's really stepped up, hasn't he, Vittinia, particularly in this second half.
44:41He's took over the mantle from Pedri, certainly he's been excellent in the second half.
44:54I can't believe it's destined to be 1-1.
44:56Yeah, I know.
44:57The second half has maybe not seen the same number of clear-cut openings as the first half,
45:02but the way the EC teams play, just two goals a night, seems a bit underwhelming.
45:06Yeah.
45:07It's still very open, the game, isn't it?
45:09It's not, you know, a boring defensive 1-1, both teams wanting a point.
45:14You know, both teams are going for it, and they've put the substitutions on to try and get the winner.
45:19There hasn't been any element of shutting up shop at all.
45:24You're right, it's surprising.
45:25And these are two teams that you would expect to be fighting in the dying stages of this competition
45:38late on in February, March, April.
45:41Beyond that, next May, both will have their eye set on Budapest for next year's Champions League final.
45:55Look how high they are, Barca.
45:57It's a key meet, Ramos is square, could this be the winner?
46:03Gonzalo Ramos for Paris Saint-Germain.
46:08As the clock hits 90, PSG have surely won it.
46:15Barca's defence exposed there.
46:18And that was so clinical from Paris Saint-Germain.
46:22The team who won the trophy last year, missing a host of star players tonight.
46:28But this could really be a statement win for them this evening.
46:31It's just whether he's onside, and it's very, very close.
46:34And Gonzalo Ramos doesn't need to be that very, very close.
46:39It's whether Hakimi's knee and Gonzalo Ramos' shoulder...
46:43It's onside and offside, and it's self-inflicted from Barcelona.
46:49Why on earth, in the last minute of normal time,
46:52you are playing that high on the halfway line baffles me.
46:56And that's why if they don't sort themselves out,
46:59they won't win this competition,
47:02because you cannot play like this so late on in the game,
47:08taking chances.
47:10I mean, it's an awful goal to concede,
47:12no matter what level you're playing at.
47:15And it's a goal, and they've been punished,
47:18and Hakimi's been excellent,
47:19and Gonzalo Ramos finished it off really, really well, actually.
47:27And again, where PSG are behind Erbjorn.
47:31They now lead in stoppage time,
47:33which there'll be a minimum of three minutes.
47:37Now Lam and Jamal will be booked for that.
47:39It's a high challenge from Jamal.
47:40Yeah, and he certainly made the most of it, didn't he, Lucas Hernandez?
47:45You can hear him from here.
47:47And then, look, you can see, I'm okay, don't worry.
47:50I mean, let's see if he gets anywhere near him.
47:52The answer's no.
47:53Yeah, the six rolls.
47:57I mean, look how close this is.
47:58There's the ball.
47:59Let's see.
48:00Ah, he's a yard onside.
48:02But what a finish.
48:03What a finish from Gonzalo Ramos.
48:06Punches it right past Vujicic Cezney.
48:09Keeps his eye on the prize.
48:11Smashes it home for the winner.
48:12He's got three goals now this season.
48:15They've all come off the bench.
48:17The first two came in stoppage time.
48:20And that one came on the brink of added time here.
48:22Who needs Dembebe?
48:26Who needs Dwey?
48:27Who needs Clara Eskevier?
48:29I know when you've put Njantou on,
48:33you've put Nvai played, Mayula played.
48:36I mean, frightening these youngsters.
48:38And they aren't done yet.
48:39Here's Njantou trying to go past Cezney.
48:43Then the angle became too tight for him.
48:46He gave offside.
48:51What a way that would have been to cap his amazing week
48:53on his Champions League debut.
48:56Information there.
48:57The yellow card show in Salami and Yamal.
48:59Four players books for Barca tonight.
49:03I mean, you have to give credit to Luis Enrique.
49:06He's shut the Barca loaner good players down, hasn't he?
49:10Pedri's been quiet in the second half.
49:11I mean, Yamal, apart from that cut in size
49:14where he was brought down, has done very little.
49:17Frenkie de Jong the same.
49:21Lewandowski's hardly had a kick, so...
49:24You know, he's done what he's needed to do, Luis Enrique.
49:31There's Ramos, back to Vitinha.
49:34Could there still be a further flourish
49:36to come from Paris Saint-Germain?
49:37I mean, the captain, Hakeem, he's been great as well, hasn't he?
49:44What a good right-back he is.
49:46Absolute superstar.
49:47He's almost a right midfielder.
49:49And there goes the full-time whistle.
49:51And there goes the full-time whistle.
50:10It is a superb night for the Champions League holders,
50:13led by Luis Enrique.
50:15They've come to Montjuic and they've come from behind
50:19to win here against the champions of Spain
50:22by two goals to one.
50:24Gonzalo Ramos with their late winning goal
50:27having come off the bench.
50:28And Barca have beaten for the first time this season.
50:32And Paris Saint-Germain have pulled off a terrific win here
50:35to the delight of their travelling fans.
50:37They came here deprived of many of their leading lights,
50:41many of their star players.
50:43But they've overcome the young guns of Barca.
50:46Lamin Imar will trudge off with his team.
50:48Beaten here as PSG make it two wins and two
50:53in the defence of the trophy they won for the first time last year.
50:56Torres put Barca one up.
50:58Mayulu got the equaliser.
51:01And there's PSG pushed late on for the winner.
51:03Barca's high line was exposed.
51:06Hakimi's pulled across
51:07and it was tucked away for that winner
51:09by Gonzalo Ramos.
51:11Some like this,
51:13it entered a 2-1 win for Paris Saint-Germain
51:15away against Barcelona.
