Atletico Madrid Stun PSG with Last-Minute Winner in Paris

In a thrilling Champions League clash at Parc des Princes, Atletico Madrid snatched a dramatic 2-1 victory over Paris Saint-Germain with the final kick of the game. Despite being outplayed for much of the match, Diego Simeone's side demonstrated their signature resilience, pulling off a win that highlights their counter-attacking prowess and defensive discipline.

PSG took the lead in the first half, with 17-year-old midfielder Warren Zaire-Emery capitalizing on a loose ball in the box, deftly lifting it over Jan Oblak to make it 1-0. The Parisians looked set to control the game, yet Atletico soon found a way back. Nahuel Molina leveled the score for the visitors, pouncing from close range and firing into the bottom corner before halftime.

The second half saw PSG dominate, recording 15 shots as they pressed Atletico’s backline. Despite generating 1.92 expected goals (xG) to Atletico’s 0.66, the French side couldn’t find a way past a resolute Atletico defense, with Oblak standing firm and making crucial saves.

Then, in the dying seconds, Atletico pulled off the ultimate smash-and-grab. Oblak launched the ball downfield, finding Antoine Griezmann, who swiftly advanced on the counter-attack. Griezmann picked out Angel Correa in the box, who deftly cut onto his left foot before drilling the ball into the bottom corner, sealing a memorable victory.

It was a classic defensive masterclass from Atletico, who once again proved why they are one of Europe’s toughest teams to break down. Up next in the Champions League, PSG face a tough trip to Bayern Munich, while Atletico head to Sparta Prague as they look to build on this dramatic win.
