HOLDERS Paris Saint-Germain Put On A Devastating Attacking Masterclass As They Crushed Bayer Leverkusen 7–2, Maintaining A Flawless Record Of Three Wins From Three In The Champions League.
Two Goals From Desire Doué, Plus Strikes From Willian Pacho, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Nuno Mendes, Ousmane Dembélé, And Vitinha, Saw PSG Dismantle Their Hosts In A One-Sided Encounter At The Bayarena.
PSG Struck Early When Defender Willian Pacho Headed In Nuno Mendes’ Dangerous In-Swinging Cross In The Seventh Minute. Leverkusen Had A Chance To Equalize From The Spot After Illia Zabarnyi Fouled Claudio Echeverri, But Alejandro Grimaldo Hit The Post.
Moments Later, Leverkusen Captain Robert Andrich Saw His Yellow Card Upgraded To Red After VAR Review For Elbowing Doué. PSG’s Man Advantage Was Short-Lived, However, As Zabarnyi Received A Straight Red For Hauling Down Christian Kofane In The Box. Aleix Garcia Converted The Penalty To Level The Score.
That Sparked A Ruthless Five-Minute Spell From PSG — Doué Restored The Lead With A Composed Finish, Kvaratskhelia Added A Stunning Effort That Went In Off Both Posts, And Doué Netted Again With A Curling Strike On The Counter To Make It 4–1 At Halftime.
In The Second Half, Vitinha Sliced Through Leverkusen’s Midfield To Set Up Mendes, Who Slotted Home PSG’s Fifth. Garcia Pulled One Back With A Spectacular 30-Yard Strike, But Dembélé, Returning From Injury, Tapped In Soon After Coming Off The Bench. Vitinha Capped The Rout With A Precise Low Shot In The 90th Minute.
Despite Recent Ligue 1 Struggles — Just One Win In Four And Slipping Behind Marseille — PSG Look Untouchable In Europe, Combining Flair And Precision To Signal A Serious Intent To Defend Their Continental Crown.
