PSG will remember this evening. Traveling to Leverkusen, the reigning European champion scored the biggest victory in its history in the Champions League (7-2). Everything or almost everything smiled on the Parisians this evening with six different scorers this evening (Pacho, Doué X2, Kvaratskhelia, Nuno Mendes, Dembélé for his return, and Vitinha) and almost total control over the events.
“The feeling is very positive because we played very well. We had clear chances and we deserved the victory», began Luis Enrique on Canal+ after the final whistle. The Asturian almost put aside Zabarnyi's red and his two conceded penalties, while earlier, Andrich had also been sent off. “It was a bit strange because with the player sent off, it became a different match ten against ten.
Luis Enrique salutes the performance of his team
PSG was already dominant at eleven against eleven, it was even worse at ten against ten. A few moments after the premature exit of the Ukrainian defender, PSG scored 3 in seven minutes to lead 4-1 at the break. Mass had already been said. “I think it's always complicated to play away. You can't control everything, but we did our job as usual and we can be proud of this team»continues the Parisian coach.
To complete this great evening, we needed a goal from Dembélé for his return. This arrived three minutes after the entry of the new Ballon d'Or. “Dembélé scored like many of the goals last year, with Barcola assisting. It's good to see this connection between the players. I'm happy to have players like him and Marquinhos back.» The Brazilian remained on the bench this evening, while PSG took the lead in the standings.
