Paris went ahead through Désiré Doué in the 38th minute, but Barcelona’s Xavi Espart equalised after the break. Lucas Hernández restored the hosts’ lead with a 72nd-minute header; Lamine Yamal answered for Barcelona seven minutes later.

Paris then took control in the closing stages. Vitinha finished after bringing the ball down on his chest, and Fabián Ruiz added a fourth from Achraf Hakimi’s cross to seal the 4-2 win.

Liverpool came back from two goals down to beat Villarreal 4-3. Georges Mikautadze and Sergi Cardona gave the visitors an early advantage before Alexis Mac Allister’s header reduced the deficit.
