In the second round of the Champions League group stage, Barcelona faced defending champions Paris Saint-Germain at their home stadium, the Olympic Stadium. Barcelona ultimately lost 1-2, suffering their first defeat of the season and ending their eight-match unbeaten start in all competitions.

After the match, Barcelona coach Hansi Flick did not make excuses for the defeat, but admitted that their opponent's overall performance was superior. Flick said bluntly: "After the first 30 to 35 minutes, Paris Saint-Germain controlled the game. We did not play at our best level."

Although the defeat was disappointing, Flick believed that this game was of great significance to the team: "We will learn from it. We must perform better when facing high-level opponents. This game will help us a lot in the future."

Flick further pointed out that Barcelona needs a tighter overall structure on both offense and defense: "The whole team must defend and attack together, and everyone must participate. The advantage of Paris Saint-Germain is that their players are eager to get the ball and know how to use space."

"The Champions League has just begun. We currently have three points in two group matches and are ranked 16th. There is still a chance."

Flick chose to face this defeat with a positive attitude. He believes that although Paris Saint-Germain showed the level of a top team, this kind of competition is exactly the test that Barcelona's young lineup needs and will also push the team to further develop in the future.
