PSG celebrate 4-2 win over Barça: Spanish press calls them “another level”

The Paris Saint-Germain beat Barcelona 4-2 in Champions League phase-league matchday 3 on Tuesday, and Spanish media framed it as a “champion” statement. Marca summed up the PSG display with: “Le champion est à un autre niveau”. AS went with “Le PSG reste aux commandes”.

Luis Enrique’s answer

Europa Press said PSG showed Barça that they are still “le roi de l’Europe”, even though the Catalans managed two comebacks in the same game. AS also pointed out that, a week after their 4-2 win over Manchester City, the capital club confirmed its European momentum—despite the injuries to Ousmane Dembélé, Marquinhos and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.

Goals decide it

Barça drew level twice: via Lamine Yamal with the support of Xavi Espart, and after the 2-2 came another quick swing from PSG. Lucas Hernandez restored the lead, then Vitinha and Fabián Ruiz completed the 4-2. Mundo Deportivo argued that Barça were “clairement dépassés”, while highlighting Joan Garcia’s work, whose saves kept the score from getting even worse.

“Top candidate” talk

Cadena SER went further, calling PSG the “candidat numéro un” to win the Champions League and aim for a third straight triumph. The radio singled out the turning point: after Lamine Yamal made it 2-2, Vitinha put PSG back ahead immediately, before Fabián Ruiz sealed the win.
