In the opening fixture of the new Champions League campaign, Barcelona squared off with PSV Eindhoven at the Camp Nou.
Both teams came into the fixture with impressive starts to their league campaign. Barcelona have won their first four games of the season and are top of La Liga by two points over Real Madrid. PSV are off to an electric start in the Eredivisie with five wins and 21 goals scored.
Heading into the fixture, Barcelona were eager to begin the Champions League campaign after last year’s disappointing exit. More importantly, all eyes were on manager Ernesto Valverde on how he was going to structure the tactics and lineup to counter PSV’s high-octane attack.
