PSG Beat Barcelona after Two Late Goals

Name: __________________________ Date: __________________

Read the story

Paris Saint-Germain beat Barcelona 4–2 on October 20. Barcelona made the score level twice, but could not stop Paris at the end.

Vitinha and Fabián Ruiz scored the final two goals. PSG have now won all three of their Champions League games this season.

Making the score level does not put a team in front. Barcelona came back twice, but Paris scored again. The final score tells us the winning margin; it does not show every change during the game.
