Notably, coach Xavi placed Lamine Yamal on the field from the start and made him the youngest player in history to appear in a Champions League quarter-final (16 years and 272 days).

The previous record for youngest player to play in the quarterfinals of the European Cup C1 belonged to Lyon’s Rayan Cherki in 2020 (17 years and 2 days).

In this match, despite having to be a guest at Parc des Princes, Barcelona played very confidently.

In the 37th minute, Barcelona took the lead with Raphinha’s goal. The first аttаck in this situation belonged to Lamine Yamal with an extremely skillful pass with the outside cheek, causing goalkeeper Donnarumma to miss the ball.

After the break, PSG began to push the attacking team higher and created great pressure in front of the away team’s goal.

In the 48th minute, after a bad clearance by a Barcelona defender, Dembele took the opportunity to bring the equalizer for the French representative.

Not stopping there, 2 minutes later, PSG scored a goal to take the lead thanks to Vitinha.

Conceding two goals in a few minutes, Barcelona began to аttаck in response.

In the 62nd minute, the player who had just entered the field Pedri made a smart pass for Raphinha to escape and shoot into PSG’s net to equalize for the home team.

Having equalized the score, the away team felt like they were relieved of pressure and played much more gracefully in the remaining time.

After many efforts, Coach Xavi’s students were rewarded with Christensen’s 3-2 winning goal in the 77th minute.

With this victory, Barcelona has a huge advantage ahead of the return match at the Nou Camp, taking place a week later.

In the match at the same time, Atletico Madrid had a breathtaking 2-1 victory over Dortmund.
