Paris St. Germain opened their Champions League season by defeating Juventus 2-1 at home on Tuesday,
marking their first victory against the Italian team. Kylian Mbappe performed the role of major tormentor.
Mbappe scored two goals in the first half—one spectacular and one more—before Weston McKennie,
a substitute,
cut the deficit in half as the French champions’ level dropped.
Gianluigi Donnarumma made three excellent stops to offset a mistake for the visitors’ goal,
preventing Juve from equalising and assuring PSG defeated
the Italian team for the first time in nine meetings after losing the previous six.
In PSG’s opening Champions League group stage match,
Kylian Mbappe’s spectacular first-half double was just enough to secure all three points as the Parisians held off a second-half Juventus comeback attempt.
The Italian team struggled for the first 45 minutes as Mbappe and Neymar
repeatedly broke past their defence but were unable to score Gianluigi Donnarumma’s goal. But Juve’s substitution of Weston McKennie
during halftime changed the outcome and ignited a second-half charge.
