Lamine Yamal Fires Blank As PSG Comes From Behind To Beat Barcelona At Camp Nou—-Portuguese forward Goncalo Ramos replace Spanish Midfielder Fabian Ruiz as second half substitute to scored a last-minute winner as Paris St-Germain beat Barcelona in a meeting of two of the Champions League favourites.

Barcelona went ahead when Ferran Torres slid in to meet Marcus Rashford’s fine low ball from the left.

England’s Rashford has scored or assisted a goal in five of Barcelona’s last six games.

But European champions PSG levelled when Nuno Mendes found Senny Mayulu after a good run and the 19-year-old slotted home.

The visitors, who were missing players through injuries, had the best chances to win the game, and managed to do so with Ramos’ first-time finish from Achraf Hakimi’s cross.

It takes them to six points from two games, with Barca on three.
PSG were deserved winners of last season’s Champions League – as part of the treble – when they blew away Inter Milan 5-0 in the final.

Spanish champions Barca had been arguably the most exciting team to watch until their semi-final exit at Inter’s hands.

So many eyes on Wednesday were on the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys, which remains Barcelona’s temporary home until the Nou Camp is ready.

Impressively, PSG came away with all three points – despite injuries to their first-choice front three of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Ousmane Dembele and Desire Doue, plus captain Marquinhos – while they lost midfielder Joao Neves in the warm-up.

Barca started brightly, with Rashford and Lamine Yamal impressing on the flanks, and got the opening goal.

But former Barcelona boss Luis Enrique’s visiting side showed their class with their lung-busting full-backs assisting both goals.

Mayulu, 19, struck his second Champions League goal – with his first coming in the final in Munich.

PSG had a host of late chances, with Lee Kang-in hitting the post before fellow substitute Ramos bagged the winner.

BREAKING: PSG Retain Champions League Title After Penalty Shootout Victory Over Arsenal

BREAKING: PSG Retain Champions League Title After Penalty Shootout Victory Over Arsenal—-French champions edge Gunners 4-3 on penalties in Budapest to secure back-to-back European crowns.

Paris Saint-Germain successfully defended their UEFA Champions League title after defeating Arsenal 4-3 on penalties following a 1-1 draw in the final at Budapest’s Puskás Aréna. PSG became only the second club in the modern Champions League era to retain the trophy in successive seasons.

Arsenal made the perfect start to the final when Kai Havertz fired the Premier League champions into an early lead in the sixth minute, giving Mikel Arteta’s side hope of winning the club’s first-ever Champions League title.

The holders responded in the second half, with Ballon d’Or winner Ousmane Dembélé converting a penalty in the 65th minute after a foul on Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, bringing PSG level and setting up a tense finish.

Neither side could find a winner during the remainder of normal time or extra time, forcing the final into a dramatic penalty shootout. PSG held their nerve from the spot, while Arsenal defender Gabriel missed the decisive penalty, blasting his effort over the crossbar.

The victory caps another remarkable European campaign for Luis Enrique’s side, who reached the final after eliminating FC Bayern Munich in the semi-finals and entered the showpiece as defending champions.

For Arsenal, the defeat is a heartbreaking end to an otherwise historic season. Arteta’s men arrived in Budapest having won their first Premier League title in 22 years and reached their first Champions League final since 2006, but they fell just short of completing a memorable double.

PSG’s triumph further cements their place among Europe’s elite, while Arsenal will be left to reflect on a campaign that brought domestic glory but ended in European heartbreak.

BREAKING: Liverpool Sacked Arne Slot With Immediate Effect After 2-Years at Anfield

BREAKING: Liverpool Sacked Arne Slot With Immediate Effect After 2-Years at Anfield—-Dutch manager leaves despite Premier League success as Reds begin search for new direction.

Liverpool FC have reportedly parted ways with manager Arne Slot after two seasons in charge at Anfield. Reports on Friday indicated that the club decided to make a managerial change following an internal review of a disappointing 2025/26 campaign.

Slot’s departure comes just a year after he guided Liverpool to the Premier League title in his debut season, becoming the first Dutch manager to win England’s top flight.

However, Liverpool endured a difficult title defence campaign, finishing outside the title race and facing criticism over inconsistent performances throughout the season. Reports suggest the club’s hierarchy concluded that a fresh direction was needed ahead of the new campaign.

The Dutch coach leaves Anfield with mixed memories — delivering the club’s 20th league title but struggling to maintain momentum during his second season.

Several reports have linked former AFC Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola as a leading candidate to replace Slot, although Liverpool are yet to officially announce a successor.

Slot, who arrived in 2024 following the departure of legendary manager Jürgen Klopp, oversaw 113 matches during his tenure and leaves having secured one Premier League title and a place in Liverpool’s recent history.

Tributes from supporters have already begun appearing online, with many thanking the Dutchman for delivering league glory during his time on Merseyside.
