By Tosin Omojola –

Matchday Two of the UEFA Champions League continued on Wednesday night with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), Arsenal, Borussia Dortmund and Newcastle United grabbing maximum points.

At the Nou Camp, Gonçalo Ramos scored an injury-time winner as PSG came from a goal down to defeat Barcelona in a clash of two of the competition’s favourites.

Barcelona opened the scoring when Ferran Torres slid in to meet Marcus Rashford’s low cross from the left.

The holders drew level when Nuno Mendes found Senny Mayulu after a fine run, and the 19-year-old slotted home calmly.

The visitors, who were missing several players through injuries, created the better chances and sealed victory with Ramos’ first-time finish from Achraf Hakimi’s cross.

Elsewhere, Arsenal secured a 2-0 win over Panathinaikos, with Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka finding the net, while Monaco and Manchester City played out a 2-2 draw.

Borussia Dortmund thrashed Athletic Club 4-1, Napoli edged Sporting CP 2-1, and Newcastle United ran out 4-0 winners over Union Saint-Gilloise away from home.

In other results, Villarreal and Juventus shared the spoils in a 2-2 draw, while Qarabag FK shocked FC Copenhagen with a 2-0 victory.
