At a critical moment in the UEFA Champions League, Gonçalo Ramos made his way back into PSG’s starting lineup and marked his return by scoring his first goal of the season.
In a highly competitive match, PSG ended their negative streak in the Champions League with a decisive 0-3 victory in Austria against RB Salzburg.
Gonçalo Ramos opened the scoring in the 29th minute of the first half, giving PSG the confidence boost they needed to take control of the game and secure the win.
First goal of the season for the portuguese striker
After recovering from a significant injury, Ramos has gradually reintegrated into Luis Enrique’s squad in recent matches.
Although not yet at his peak form, Ramos remains a lethal forward who can unsettle any defense.
In the 29th minute, following a brilliant headed assist from Achraf Hakimi, Gonçalo Ramos tapped the ball into the net, celebrating his return and giving PSG a vital Champions League goal.
PSG ends an eight-month striker goal drought in the UCL
Since Kylian Mbappé’s departure from PSG, there were fears that the team would struggle to replace his scoring output.
This concern became evident as PSG went a staggering eight Champions League matches without a goal from a striker.

The last time a Parisian forward scored in the competition was when Kylian Mbappé netted against FC Barcelona on April 15—an agonizingly long wait for the team and its fans.
Gonçalo Ramos’ goal ended that drought, restoring joy to PSG supporters and helping the team secure a spot among the top 24 in the UEFA Champions League.
Expectations are now high as PSG looks to advance to the next stage of Europe’s premier competition.
