The Olympic Stadium hosted late drama in the Champions league as Paris Saint-Germain beat Barcelona 2-1. Gonçalo Ramos struck in the 90th minute to seal the win. Ferran Torres had opened for Barcelona after a Lamine Yamal-Pedri move. Nuno Mendes’ bursting run created the equalizer for 19-year-old Senny Mayulu before halftime. Ramos then stayed onside to finish Achraf Hakimi’s pass in a thrilling second half.
The outcome intensified the fierce rivalry between Barcelona and PSG, fueled by comebacks and transfers from Neymar to Messi. Luis Enrique’s men missed Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Desire Doué, and Ousmane Dembélé. Yet PSG still outlasted Barcelona’s youthful energy, with Yamal showcasing brilliance again.
In Brussels, Newcastle United crushed Union Saint-Gilloise 4-0. Nick Woltemade scored first with a neat touch on Sandro Tonali’s strike. Anthony Gordon added two penalties, one either side of halftime. Harvey Barnes capped the night with a counterattack goal, ending Union’s 10-match unbeaten run. Eddie Howe’s side responded quickly to their European loss against Barcelona and proved their attacking depth after Alexander Isak’s exit.
Arsenal continued perfect form in the Champions League with a 2-0 win over Olympiakos at the Emirates. Gabriel Martinelli scored first after Viktor Gyökeres’ shot hit the post. Bukayo Saka sealed the result late when Konstantinos Tzolakis fumbled his strike. Arsenal claimed their tenth clean sheet in 13 European home games, showing defensive steel despite not being at their sharpest.
In Monaco, Erling Haaland netted twice, but Manchester City were held 2-2. Jordan Teze equalized with a thunderbolt after Haaland’s opener. The striker hit again to reach 52 goals in 50 Champions League matches. However, Eric Dier’s 90th-minute penalty denied City all three points, leaving both sides level in the group.
Borussia Dortmund closed the night with a 4-1 win over Athletic Bilbao at Signal Iduna Park. Daniel Svensson opened the scoring, and Carney Chukwuemeka doubled the lead. Bilbao’s Gorka Guruzeta pulled one back after a defensive slip. Serhou Guirassy restored control with a deflected goal, and Julian Brandt added gloss in stoppage time.
From Ramos’ late strike in Barcelona to Gordon’s double in Brussels, Martinelli’s spark in London, Haaland’s milestone in Monaco, and Guirassy’s decisive touch in Dortmund, these Champions League results proved why the competition remains football’s most captivating stage.
