Ramos snatches Champions League holders PSG late win at Barca
BARCELONA: Champions League holders Paris Saint-Germain stunned Barcelona with a 90th-minute Goncalo Ramos winner to claim a 2-1 away victory in the league stage on Wednesday. Ferran Torres sent Hansi Flick’s Barcelona ahead with a cool finish but Senny Mayulu fired a depleted PSG level before half-time. It was an even and thoroughly entertaining bout between two of the competition’s favorites at the Olympic stadium which was eventually settled by Ramos’ late strike, as PSG exploited Barca’s high defensive line. “After scoring the (first) goal we got a confidence boost and in the second half we were better,” Luis Enrique told reporters. “I’m happy... because it’s an important victory and playing against Barcelona is always difficult.” Luis Enrique, who won the treble coaching Barcelona in 2015, was lacking several key players and his team held on at times but eventually got the better of last season’s semifinalists. “If you let in a goal in the last minute and you lose at home, you’re going to be disappointed,” Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong told Movistar. “There’s a long way to go in the Champions League.

PSG’s injuries mount but Luis Enrique unfazed before Barcelona game in Champions League

PSG captain Marquinhos out with thigh injury
PARIS: Club captain Marquinhos has joined the growing list of big-name absentees for Paris Saint-Germain after suffering a thigh issue, the European champions announced on Friday. The 31-year-old Brazilian defender “will undergo treatment on a left thigh injury over the next few weeks,” PSG announced on their website. The latest injury blow for Luis Enrique’s side comes in the wake of injuries to stars Joao Neves and Desire Doue, as well as recent Ballon d’Or winner Ousmane Dembele. PSG did not specify when Marquinhos picked up the injury, with the center-half playing the full 90 minutes of his side’s last outing — a 1-0 defeat at arch-rivals Marseille on Monday in which Marquinhos scored an own goal. When contacted by AFP, PSG did not immediately respond. Bradley Barcola was, however, present at Friday’s training session ahead of PSG’s league meeting with Auxerre this weekend, after having missed the Marseille defeat due to muscle fatigue in his thigh. PSG then next face Barcelona at home in the Champions League on Wednesday, before traveling to Lille in Ligue 1 action on October 5.
