Summary
Barcelona began their European title defence in emphatic fashion, overwhelming Paris FC 5-2 despite a depleted squad. The visitors stunned the hosts with an early goal from Viens in the fifth minute, but Barcelona responded through Kerolin's debut strike and never looked back, with Serrajordi, Pajor (twice), and Graham adding further goals to seal a commanding victory.
The champions, missing five regulars including Aitana and Kika, showed no signs of complacency despite their domestic dominance last season. Only 2,574 spectators attended the match at Estadi Johan Cruyff, but Barcelona's intensity and quality proved overwhelming as they pursue a fifth Champions League crown.
