AS Monaco beat Barcelona in their opening match of the Champions League campaign, with goals from Maghnes Akliouche (16′) and substitute George Ilenikhena (71′), either side of a strike by Lamine Yamal (28′),

A frustrating night for FC Barcelona ends in a 2-1 defeat to Monaco away from home. For many reasons, this will be a forgetful experience as their first outing in the new Champions League format.

Early in the match with the score level, Ter Stegen found himself under increasing pressure with the ball at his feet. Rather than clearing his lines, the Germany international tried a risky short pass straight up the middle that Takumi Minamino intercepted.
