Victorious once again on Wednesday evening on Barcelona's home turf (1-2), the Parisians won their third consecutive away game in Catalonia after those in February 2021 (1-4) and April 2024 (1-4). Paris Saint-Germain thus became the first team in history to win three consecutive away games against FC Barcelona in a major European competition.
However, it was the Blaugranas who opened the scoring at Montjuïc, before seeing the Parisians snatch victory at the end of normal time. This is the eighth time that Les Rouge et Bleu have won after conceding the opening goal in 2025 in all competitions, a record in the club's history in a single calendar year.
With an average age of 23 years and 99 days, Paris Saint-Germain fielded the second youngest starting eleven for a reigning champion at the kick-off of a Champions League match, behind... FC Barcelona against Belarusian side FC BATE Borisov in the 2011-2012 season (23 years and 93 days).
The capital club has shown that it can rely on its young players, both this season and last, with Paris winning 12 of its last 14 Champions League matches.
Senny Mayulu, who scored Paris' equaliser, has now found the net in three of his last four Champions League matches for Les Rouge et Bleu. Our Titi had already scored in last season's play-off second leg against Brest (7-0), then in the final victory over Inter Milan (5-0).
As for Gonçalo Ramos, who scored Paris' second goal to seal the victory, the Portuguese centre forward netted his 17th goal after coming on as a substitute for Paris. This was a major milestone for the capital club's No. 9, who became the club's all-time leading substitute goalscorer in all competitions.
Thanks to these two new achievements on Barcelona soil, Paris Saint-Germain has now scored 38 goals in the Champions League since the start of 2025, equalling the record for a team in a single calendar year in the history of the competition set by Manchester United in 2002.
