Raphinha Gets 7, Araujo With 5 | Barcelona Players Rated In Disappointing Loss Vs Paris Saint-Germain | OneFootball

Barcelona entertained Paris Saint-Germain at the Nou Camp earlier tonight as they looked to defend their 3-2 first-leg lead in the UEFA Champions League. The Catalan club made a quick start to the game and scored the opening goal in the 12th minute when Raphinha got his name on the scoresheet. However, Ronald Araujo was sent off by the referee in the 29th minute which put the home team at a numerical disadvantage. Ousmane Dembele equalised for PSG in the 40th minute as the two teams went into the half-time break with a 1-1 scoreline.

Vitinha scored again for the French club in the 54th minute before Kylian Mbappe put Barca in a world of trouble as he scored from the penalty spot in the 61st minute. Mbappe scored again late in the game as Barcelona crashed to a disappointing 4-1 loss in front of their home fans.

Xavi’s men ended up losing the tie by an aggregate score of 6-4.
