    "articleBody": "Lamine Yamal’s angled finish in Paris on Tuesday, October 20, drew Barcelona level at 2-2 with a little over ten minutes left, and Paris Saint-Germain scored twice more before the end. The 4-2 defeat at the Parc des Princes ended Barcelona’s 11-game winning start to the season, and it landed on the same night that Villarreal, the other Spanish club trending in Britain, blew a two-goal lead at Liverpool and lost 4-3. Paris: four goals in the last 20 minutes The holders went ahead late in the first half through Desire Doue. Xavi Espart, a 19-year-old academy defender, equalized early in the second half. Lucas Hernandez headed Paris back in front from a corner, and then came Yamal: a narrow-angle strike that briefly looked like it had rescued a point. Vitinha answered almost at once with a shot from just outside the box, and Fabian Ruiz tapped in an Achraf Hakimi cross to settle it. Barcelona coach Hansi Flick did not hide behind the scoreline. “We made too many mistakes in this game, with the ball possession, easy ball losses,” he said, adding that the night showed “in which areas we have to improve.” Paris paid a price too: Ousmane Dembele went off with a hamstring problem after about 20 minutes, and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia was also hurt. Barcelona left with an injury of their own, as Dani Olmo, playing his 100th game for the club, suffered a left adductor tear. For Yamal, the goal was his 10th of the season in all competitions, and he has also set up 10. He is 19. Liverpool 4, Villarreal 3: a Barcelona loanee in the comeback In the other Spanish story of the night, Villarreal were 2-0 up inside half an hour. Virgil van Dijk’s misdirected header let Georges Mikautadze open the scoring and Sergi Cardona doubled the lead. Liverpool turned it round through Alexis Mac Allister, who scored twice, and Florian Wirtz, with 18-year-old winger Rio Ngumoha setting up three goals. Tani Oluwaseyi’s late strike for Villarreal made the finish tense, not different. One detail ties both Spanish clubs together. Liverpool’s first-half equalizer came from Ronald Araujo, the defender Barcelona loaned to Anfield in August with a 55 million euro purchase option attached. That leaves Barcelona’s own player helping knock down a La Liga rival on the night Barcelona lost. Where this leaves them, in plain terms For readers more used to the old group stage: this season’s Champions League puts all 36 clubs in one table, with each playing eight games. Finishing in the top eight sends a club straight to the round of 16; places 9 to 24 go into a play-off round; 25th and below are out of Europe. After three games Barcelona have six points and sit eighth, the last automatic spot, level on points with Como and Manchester City just below them. Paris and Liverpool are the only teams with three wins, on nine points each. The loss also changes the mood before Sunday. Barcelona have won all nine La Liga games so far, matching the best start in the competition’s history, set by Real Madrid in 1968-69, and they lead the table by five points. Next up is El Clasico against Madrid at Camp Nou on Sunday, October 25, and Flick said Rodri, who came off the bench for the last half-hour in Paris, will play. Fixtures to circle for UK and US viewers Sunday, October 25: Barcelona vs Real Madrid, La Liga, Camp Nou. Tuesday, November 3: Barcelona vs Aston Villa, Champions League, Camp Nou. Sunday, November 22: Barcelona vs Villarreal, La Liga, Camp Nou. Tuesday, December 8: Barcelona vs Manchester City, Champions League, Camp Nou. The league phase runs until January 27, when Barcelona host Como in their final group-table game. Before then, the Aston Villa visit on November 3 is their next chance to climb back toward the nine-point pace set by Paris and Liverpool.
