"Luis Enrique's young Parisians staged a comeback in Catalonia, thanks to their coach's expert use of his squad. Senny Mayulu, 19, upstaged Lamine Yamal by scoring the equaliser Wednesday was the first match this season Yamal had failed to either score or contribute to a goal. Instead, the resurgent Marcus Rashford set up Ferran Torres's opener for Barca."
"No matter: 23-year-old Bradley Barcola stepped up as the senior forward and ravaged Hansi Flick's high-line, high-wire defence. The youngsters kept coming for PSG: 17-year-old Ibrahim Mbaye was replaced by another teenager, Quentin Ndjantou, to play alongside the lively Lee Kang-in. In the end, Achraf Hakimi supplied the assist for Goncalo Ramos, another sub, to score the 90th minute winner and inflict Barcelona's first loss this season."
"Marseille. The French club were the inaugural winners of the rebadged Champions League in 1993, yet they have a troubled relationship with the competition. That triumph carries an asterisk: the club were stripped of their French title the same year for match fixing. This season, Roberto De Zerbi's firebrand coaching could take them on a deep run. Having lost 2-1, and creditably, at Real Madrid and beaten PSG last week in Ligue 1, Marseille crushed another former winner in Ajax, 4-0."
Paris Saint-Germain rallied to beat Barcelona in Catalonia after playing at the Lluis Companys Stadium while Camp Nou renovation works continued. PSG recovered from a Marcus Rashford-assisted opener by Ferran Torres when Senny Mayulu equalised, and late substitutes including Bradley Barcola and Goncalo Ramos combined for the 90th-minute winner. PSG coped without several senior forwards as teenagers made significant contributions. Marseille, inaugural winners of the rebadged Champions League in 1993, showed renewed strength under Roberto De Zerbi by following up a credible loss at Real Madrid and a Ligue 1 win over PSG with a 4-0 win against Ajax.
