Clearly, nothing has reached Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League since the start of the season. After the demonstration against Atalanta and this boss success in Barcelona, despite the absentees, the club from the capital once again made the powder speak this Tuesday evening on the lawn of Leverkusen (2-7).
After the early opening score of Willian Pacho (0-1, 7th), this match was rich in twists and turns with a missed penalty by Grimaldo for Bayer (25th), a red for Andrich for an elbow on Doué (31st), then this action which could have been a turning point: red for Zabarnyi, and penalty this time transformed by Aleix Garcia (38th).
At 10 against 10, the match was bound to descend into a certain madness. This was the case, but with PSG in total control or almost. Was it 1-1 in the 38th minute? It will be 4-1 at the break, with three consecutive goals following German turnovers, and the conclusion for Désiré Doué (41st, 45th+3), twice, and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (44th).
Dembélé comes back and scores
Thus, PSG enjoyed a quiet second period, especially since Nuno Mendes also quickly scored (50th), before the missile fired by Aleix Garcia to reduce the gap (54th).
Luis Enrique took the opportunity to revive his Ballon d'Or, Ousmane Dembélé, absent for a month… and scorer after three minutes (66th). It won't even be the final score, since Vitinha will also come to participate in the party (90th). So here is PSG at the top of this Champions League this Tuesday evening, and in the process of recovering all its injured players. Apart from the few points left on the way in Ligue 1, all the lights are green for the Rouge et Bleu.
