Paris Saint-Germain left no room for suspense in their opening match. The European champions comprehensively dominated Slovan Bratislava (6-1) and began the defense of their title with a true offensive display.
Dembélé finds the back of the net again
Ousmane Dembélé quickly set the tone. The Ballon d'Or winner scored two goals in the first half, returning to form after a quieter start to the season. He also proved decisive on Paris's third goal, setting up Ferran Torres.
Ferran Torres, man of the match
The Spaniard then took over. Ferran Torres scored a hat-trick and established himself as one of the standout performers of the evening in Paris. His clinical finishing quickly gave PSG a lead the visitors had no chance of overturning.
Total control after the break
Paris continued to dictate the pace after the break. With controlled possession, quick attacks and constant pressure, the European champions kept Slovan pinned back.
The visitors still managed to score a goal, but PSG immediately regained control of proceedings. Fabián Ruiz eventually joined the party, scoring Paris's sixth goal.
A strong message sent to Europe
Beyond the scoreline, Luis Enrique will above all remember the response from his key players. Dembélé is back to his best, Ferran Torres has made a huge impact on his first big European night with the club, and PSG are already showing impressive attacking power.
The message is clear: the European champions are firmly intent on defending their crown.
