Paris Saint‑Germain turned a routine group fixture into a six‑goal spectacle, dismantling Slovan Bratislava 6‑1 at the Parc des Princes on September 9.
And the opening whistle set the tone. PSG pressed high, forcing Slovan into their half within minutes. Kylian Mbappé opened the scoring in the 7th minute, a low drive that slipped past the keeper.
By the 22nd minute, Leonardo doubled the lead with a header from a corner. The home side looked unstoppable, and the crowd roared with each attack.
But the real fireworks came after the break. Mbappé completed his hat‑trick in the 49th minute, a blistering solo run that left two defenders flat‑footed.
Slovan pulled one back in the 55th minute, a consolation strike that offered a brief flicker of hope. Yet PSG responded instantly, Hugo Ekitike slotting home the fourth goal just three minutes later.
Late on, Vitinha added a fifth, and Marquinhos capped the night with a powerful finish in stoppage time. The final whistle confirmed a 6‑1 triumph.
