Barça fell in the Champions League 25/26 against PSG in Montjuïc (1-2), a result that keeps Hansi Flick's team in the 'play-off' zone, in 16th place in the standings
FC Barcelona fell on the second matchday of the league phase of the UEFA Champions League 25/26 against Paris Saint-Germain (1-2). Hansi Flick's team could not add the three points as locals in Montjuïc and fall to 16th place in the general standings, still in the 'play-offs' zone for the round of 16.
Barça took the lead in the 19th minute with a goal from Ferran Torres, assisted by Marcus Rashford. However, PSG reacted before the break, in the 38th minute, with a goal from Senny Mayulu. In the 90th minute, Gonçalo Ramos, from a pass by Achraf Hakimi and in a doubtful position, scored the winning goal for Luis Enrique's team.
With the victory, PSG remains in the direct qualification zone for the round of 16 (3rd) as one of the six teams that have a full record of victories in the first two matchdays of the league. In 24/25, Barça also added only 3 points out of the first 6 at stake.

Real Madrid moves up to second place 'thanks' to Kairat
Real Madrid, meanwhile, moved up to second place in the general standings thanks to a 'manita' against the weak Kairat (0-5). Kylian Mbappé, with a 'hat-trick', led the Whites' rout in Kazakhstan. Eduardo Camavinga and Brahim Díaz completed a result that equals the 'merengues' with Bayern Munich.
The Bavarians also crushed Pafos (1-5) and lead the league with an identical goal difference (+6), but with one more goal scored (8) than Xabi Alonso's team. With six points, PSG, Inter, Arsenal and the surprising Qarabag are also in the top zone of the standings.
Further back appear, with 4 points, Borussia Dortmund and Manchester City closing the 'TOP-8' that advances directly to the round of 16. In ninth place, for now, is Tottenham, also with 4 points.
Barça and Atlético, in the 'play-off' zone with 3 points
Just below the 'Spurs' is now Atlético de Madrid, who also climbed positions after thrashing Frankfurt at the Metropolitano (5-1). The Germans led the standings on matchday 1 after thrashing Galatasaray by the same score.
For now, Barça and Aleti have the same points, but are separated by five steps due to goal difference. The 'culés' finished at zero after the defeat against Paris (4 goals for, 4 against). Ahead of the Catalans are Newcastle, Marseille, Bruges, Sporting CP and Eintracht itself.
Closing the repechage zone, from 17th to 24th place, are: Liverpool, Chelsea, Napoli, Saint-Gilloise, Galatasaray, Atalanta, Juventus and Bodo/Glimt. In LaLiga, Villarreal is 26th with just 1 point, while Athletic still has no points and is penultimate (34th).
