PSG well launched

Thanks to Mbappé and Hakimi at the start of the second half, PSG beat Dortmund (2-0) in their first Champions League match on Tuesday evening at the Parc des Princes.

In the wake of its defeat against Nice at the Parc des Princes (2-3), last Friday, and already hanging on twice this season in Ligue 1, PSG did not fail to enter the Champions League, Tuesday evening, when Borussia Dortmund came, for a 2-0 victory.

Dominant, not always dangerous – with a discreet Randal Kolo Muani up front and Ousmane Dembélé who must do better – Luis Enrique’s men came up against the BVB defense in the first period. Returning from the locker room was a saving grace. Niklas Süle deflected a rebound from Kylian Mbappé (47th) and a penalty was given for the French prodigy’s opener (49th).

Ten minutes later, Achraf Hakimi doubled the goal at the end of a magnificent collective action with Vitinha (58th). Faced with Dortmund’s timid awakening, the Rouge et Bleu did not hit the nail on the head. Gonçalo Ramos, who entered at the end of the match at the forefront, missed his opportunity (85th) before having a goal refused for offside (96th). We will have to continue in Newcastle, in two weeks.
