Barcelona destroyed! Fabián Ruiz scores PSG's fourth goal in insane Champions League thriller
Barcelona's nightmare in Paris has reached another level! Fabián Ruiz has delivered another devastating blow to Hansi Flick's team, scoring PSG's fourth goal in a Champions League encounter packed with incredible drama.
Details: Paris Saint-Germain extended their lead against Barcelona to 4-2 in the 86th minute of their Champions League meeting on October 20. Spanish midfielder Fabián Ruiz found the net, sending the Parc des Princes into another explosion of celebration. Footage shared by The Touchline shows the 30 year old celebrating passionately near the corner of the pitch as his teammates rush to join him. The goal gave Luis Enrique's side a two goal cushion with only minutes of normal time remaining.
The match had already delivered an extraordinary sequence of twists. Désiré Doué opened the scoring for PSG before Xavi Espart equalised. Lucas Hernandez restored the hosts' advantage, only for Lamine Yamal to make it 2-2. Vitinha then struck again for Paris, and Ruiz's late goal increased the lead to 4-2.
The midfielder's contribution was especially impressive considering PSG's injury problems. Luis Enrique had already lost Ousmane Dembélé and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia during the encounter. Nevertheless, his team continued attacking and found another goal through an unexpected source.
For Barcelona, the fourth goal represented another crushing setback. Flick's side arrived in Paris after an outstanding start to the season, but their defence struggled to contain the relentless French champions. With time running out, the Catalans faced the prospect of their first defeat of the campaign.
It's worth noting that Ruiz scored his first Champions League goal against Arsenal in May 2025. His latest strike against Barcelona put PSG ahead 4-2 around the 86th minute. That score reflects the situation at the time of the goal, rather than a confirmed final result.
Reminder: At just the right moment! Fabián Ruiz scores his first Champions League goal.
