In a thrilling Champions League match, Barcelona secured a 3-2 victory over PSG with goals from Ousmane Dembele, Raphinha, and Andreas Christensen, who scored on his birthday with his first touch after being subbed on. PSG initially took the lead with a goal from Vitinha, but Barcelona's strategic substitutions by coach Xavi, including Pedri, who returned from injury to deliver a crucial assist to Raphinha's goal just one minute after entering the pitch, turned the game around for a memorable win.
