  "account": "Paris Saint-Germain extended their perfect run in the Champions League to three victories in a row, defeating Barcelona 4-2 at the Parc des Princes. The final score included goals from Vitinha and Fabian Ruiz late in the game. Barcelona managed to level the score twice, but ultimately fell short and suffered their first defeat of the season. Injuries to Ousmane Dembele, Marquinhos, and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia likely impacted Barcelona's performance. PSG's win keeps them at the top of the early league-phase table.",
