70 minutes, 3-2…
FC Barcelona was losing.
This was despite playing at their best.
Yes, FC Barcelona was playing at their best and yet they were losing. That was how fearsome PSG was this season under Luis Enrique.
Today, Sam was at his electric best, buzzing in the forward line like a dangerous bee that could not be tamed.
Lamine Yamal? The youngster was a menace to Nuno Mendes, turning him inside out repeatedly as another PSG player was tasked to help him double-team the Spanish prodigy. Despite everything, somehow, PSG was holding on.
Pedri? Pedri was at his enigmatic best today, and yet, he was stifled up against the fearsome PSG midfield trio of Fabian Ruiz, Vitinha and Joao Neves.
Today, literally all the FC Barcelona players turned up to the game. After all, they've been preparing for it like their life depended on it.
Well, their happiness depended on it.
