The Parisians managed an easy victory over poor Dormund thanks to the goals from Mbappe and Hakimi
The teams in the group of ‘death’ started their matches tonight with a goalless draw between AC Milan and Newcastle, and after that, Paris Saint Germain managed an easy victory over Dortmund and started the new Champions League campaign with three points. The prelude for this match was not good, as PSG lost at home to Nice 3-2, but coach Luis Enrique was calm and gave his players much-needed confidence that they could win against the Germans. And they did it with ease. On the other hand, Borussia (again) showed that they haven’t started well this season, that they are not on the level of last season, and that they badly miss Jude Bellingham. Even thou this was Dortmund’s first loss in all competition, the Millionaires are not playing well at all.
The game was a boring affair, with little to report about. The first half was particularly poor, as PSG had the initiative and had one fantastic chance, but Vitihna’s thunderbolt shook the bar in the 18th minute, and that was it. The Parisians continued with the pressure in the second half, and the guests did nothing to prevent that. In the first half, VAR checked a potential penalty after Niklas Sule handballed in the penalty area but ruled against it. The second time, however, VAR decided that the former Bayern defender did touch the ball with his hand, and Kylian Mbappe was there to make it 1-0. His best friend Achraf Hakimi finished the job in the 57th minute after a great action with Vitihna. Edin Terzić’s boys will go back to Germany, where they play against a tricky Wolfsburg. Tonight’s display won’t be a good prelude for that match.
