Paris Saint-Germain and FC Barcelona faced off this Tuesday at the Parc des Princes as part of the third matchday of the 2026-2027 Champions League league phase. The encounter ended in a 4-2 victory for the Parisian side. Following the match, Spanish team forward Anthony Gordon (25) spoke to CBS Sports Golazo.
Gordon: “It’s a tough blow, but it’s a positive.”
Is this the kind of match that puts you back in your place and shows what needs to be done to reach the next level?
You could look at it that way. They’ve been the best team in the world for the past two years. We’re a top team, and we’ve had a good start. It’s a tough blow, but it’s a positive. We need to keep improving and become the team to beat.
What is it like on the pitch during such an intense match?
It’s a bit chaotic—I was already exhausted after 10 minutes! (smiles) It’s a fantastic match to play in, and to watch!
Up next is Real Madrid, right?
Yes—and that wasn’t the final. The title race is far from over. We hope to cross paths with them again later on and go on to win some trophies.
