Do I recite the opening supplication if I enter the prayer after the imam has finished reciting al-Fatihah?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says: If I enter the prayer after the imam has finished reciting al-Fatihah in a prayer where the recitation is loud, do I recite the opening supplication, or do I hasten to recite al-Fatihah directly?

Answer:
You recite the opening supplication, because the imam does not bear the opening supplication for you. You recite it, then you recite al-Fatihah after the opening supplication.
