PSG Crush Slovan With Six Goal European Statement
Paris Saint-Germain began their 2026/27 UEFA Champions League campaign with a commanding 6–1 victory over Slovan Bratislava at the Parc des Princes, sending an immediate message as they pursue a third consecutive European title. PSG took control early, with Ousmane Dembélé opening the scoring in the 17th minute before doubling the advantage just six minutes later. The French side’s attacking pressure continued, and Ferran Torres made it 3–0 in the 31st minute, putting the match firmly in PSG’s hands before half-time. Torres struck again shortly after the restart, scoring in the 47th minute, and then completed his hat-trick in the 57th minute to make it 5–0. It was a remarkable Champions League debut for PSG’s new signing and immediately underlined why the club invested in him. Slovan Bratislava managed to pull one back through Suleiman Camara, but PSG remained in complete control and added a sixth late in the game through Fabián Ruiz. The final score reflected the huge gap between the two sides on the night. Torres finished with three goals and was named UEFA’s Player of the Match, while Dembélé’s two-goal display gave Luis Enrique another major positive. The result was particularly important because PSG had endured a poor domestic start, but they looked far more convincing once European competition began. The holders could hardly have asked for a better opening. Six goals, a hat-trick from a new signing and another dominant European performance have immediately put PSG among the early teams to watch in this season’s Champions League.
