Désiré Doué opened the scoring in the 38th minute after a Barcelona error.
Xavi Espart equalised in the 55th minute on his full Champions League debut.
Lucas Hernández restored PSG’s lead with a header in the 72nd minute, before Lamine Yamal levelled again with a superb solo effort in the 79th.
Vitinha then struck late in the 81st minute, and Fabian Ruiz added another to secure the win for the hosts in a high-quality, end-to-end contest.
Here are the Barcelona player ratings:
Joan Garcia (8.5/10)
Made several important saves to keep Barcelona in the game against a barrage of PSG shots.
Could do little about either goal but overall looked assured and confident with his distribution.
Xavi Espart (8/10)
Scored a superb equaliser on his Champions League debut with a powerful finish.
Defended solidly for long periods and showed great attacking intent down the flank.
Pau Cubarsí (7/10)
Faced constant pressure from PSG’s attackers and was stretched at times.
Won some important duels but the defence as a unit struggled to contain the hosts’ intensity.
Gerard Martín (7/10)
Put in a hard-working shift and tried to support the attack when possible.
Occasionally caught out positionally as PSG overloaded the flanks.
João Cancelo (7.5/10)
Looked shaky defensively and was caught out in transitions.
Offered little going forward compared to his usual standards.
Marc Bernal (7/10)
Filled in for the absent Rodri and competed well in midfield battles.
Struggled to dictate tempo against PSG’s energetic midfield.
Pedri (8/10)
Tried to link play and create openings with his usual vision.
Worked tirelessly but was somewhat stifled by PSG’s press.
Dani Olmo (5.5/10)
Failed to make a significant impact before being substituted early.
Struggled to find space and influence the game in the final third.
Lamine Yamal (8/10)
His loose pass contributed to PSG’s opener, a costly error.
Still showed flashes of quality and created a few dangerous moments later.
Anthony Gordon (7/10)
Worked hard up front and linked play when possible.
Lacked a clinical edge and was relatively quiet in front of goal.
Raphinha (7/10)
Showed energy and delivered some useful crosses and runs.
Was substituted as Barcelona looked for a different spark late on.
Fermín López (7.5/10)
Came on early and provided the assist for Espart’s equaliser with a clever pass.
Added urgency and creativity that the side needed after the break.
