MADRID, 25 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Paris Saint-Germain beat AC Milan (3-0) this Wednesday on the third day of the Champions League, in a Group F that looks better for Luis Enrique’s team, while Manchester City won (1-3) to Young Boys to maintain their full strength and be very close to securing their place in the round of 16.
The French team had no margin for error in their irregular path with the Spanish coach at the helm and beat the Italian team thanks to 17-year-old Warren Zaire-Emery, who had two goal assists at the Parc des Princes.
The first was scored well by Kylian Mbappé at half an hour, giving peace of mind to a PSG that had just been beaten by Newcastle the previous day. In the second half, Ousmane Dembélé was left without a goal due to a previous foul but the former FC Barcelona player gave Kolo Muani the 2-0 lead. At the end, Kang-In Lee made the third.
Luis Enrique’s team leads with six points a Group F that was tightened with the victory (0-1) of Borussia Dortmund over the English team, despite the fact that Eddie Howe’s team even had the victory in the last minutes with two crossbars . Nmecha sealed the victory for the Germans, completing a perfect and lethal counterattack on the brink of half-time, a result that leaves both teams with four points. Milan is last with two.
On the other hand, Spanish coach Pep Guardiola’s City experienced an intense second half during their visit to Switzerland, where the local team tied Akanji’s initial goal, through Elias. A double from Haaland, the first from a penalty and the second a great missile in the 86th minute, sealed the champion’s nine points, one step away from being in the round of 16 with Leipzig’s six points and only one from Young Boys in Group G .
The German team achieved a great victory over Red Star, with the return from injury of the Spanish Dani Olmo, who closed the rout with the 3-1 score right after entering the field. Raum put the hosts ahead in the 12th minute and Xavi Simons presented himself at the ‘Champions’ level with a great goal, demonstrating his progress at Leipzig.
Furthermore, Wednesday’s matchday in the ‘Champions’ leaves FC Barcelona as the consolidated leader of Group H, after their victory against Shakhtar Donetsk by 2-1, third with 3 points. Xavi Hernández’s team has nine out of nine in possible points so far, while Porto, which beat Antwerp (1-4), is second with 6.
Meanwhile, Atlético de Madrid will have to fight even harder after a 2-2 draw that they suffered but could improve on their visit to Celtic. Feyenord is the leader of Group E, after its victory (3-1) against Lazio to add six points to the Italians’ four, where Diego Pablo Simeone’s men are second with five.
