UCL: Sunday Oliseh applauds PSG’s “gold-worthy” tactical masterclass vs Barcelona

By Wale Mustapha

Former Nigeria captain, Sunday Oliseh, has lavished praise on Paris Saint-Germain following their 2-1 comeback victory over Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday night, describing the performance as “worthy of gold.”

The reigning European champions overturned an early deficit at the Camp Nou to secure a vital win on Matchday Two of the group stage.

Barcelona took the lead through Ferran Torres, who fired home a precise pass from Marcus Rashford.

However, PSG responded before the break as teenage forward Senny Mayulu finished off a slick team move initiated by Nuno Mendes to level the scores.

The dramatic winner came in stoppage time, with substitute Gonçalo Ramos converting a perfectly weighted pass from Achraf Hakimi to seal all three points for the visitors.

Despite being without three key starters, PSG displayed composure, tactical discipline, and attacking flair—qualities that caught the attention of Oliseh, who took to social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to express his admiration.

“With a depleted team lacking three world-class starting players, PSG’s performance yesterday vs Barcelona was simply worthy of gold!” Oliseh wrote.

“The management of the periods, gradual ascension, tactical deception, and total ‘antidote’ body positioning to Barca’s tactics was just unprecedented. I had a blast! Bravo to Luis Enrique as PSG coach!”

The win preserves PSG’s perfect start to their title defense campaign and reaffirms their status as serious contenders under manager Luis Enrique.
