Barcelona's Historic Scoring Streak Ends in 2-1 Champions League Loss to PSG
Barcelona's historic scoring streak in the Champions League came to an end as they fell 2-1 to Paris Saint-Germain. The Blaugrana had scored in 45 consecutive matches across all competitions prior to this Champions League clash.
Barcelona took an early lead through Ferran Torres in the 19th minute. However, they were pegged back before half-time by Senny Mayulu. The turning point came in the 90th minute when Goncalo Ramos scored a late winner for the reigning Champions League champions, marking just the second time in Champions League history that Barcelona have conceded a 90th-minute winning goal, and the first time away from home in any major European competition.
Barcelona's coach, Hansi Flick, acknowledged that their quieter second half cost them the Champions League match. He also admitted that Barcelona were not at PSG's level during the game. Flick did not want to dwell on Barcelona's scoring record, despite it coming to an end. Meanwhile, Marcus Rashford has been in fine form, contributing to seven goals in his last seven games for club and country, assisting in each of his last three outings for Barcelona.
Barcelona's impressive scoring run may have ended, but their challenge in the Champions League continues. With Rashford's recent form and lessons learned from the PSG defeat, they will look to bounce back in their next Champions League match. The loss serves as a reminder that even the most historic streaks can be broken in the Champions League.
