PSG started their Champions League campaign in style with a 4-0 win over Atalanta. The match was played at Parc des Princes, and the home side dominated from the beginning.
The breakthrough came early. Marquinhos scored in the third minute, giving PSG a perfect start. Minutes later, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia doubled the lead with a composed finish. Nuno Mendes added a third before the half-hour mark. PSG were already in full control.
Before halftime, PSG had the chance to extend their lead even further. However, Bradley Barcola missed a penalty. Despite the setback, the French side never lost momentum and kept pressure on the Italian visitors.
In the second half, PSG managed the game with patience. Their defence stayed solid, and the midfield controlled possession. Atalanta tried to fight back but created very few clear chances. The hosts sealed the win late in stoppage time when substitute Goncalo Ramos scored the fourth goal.
The result highlighted PSG’s strength as defending champions. The team showed pressing, sharp passing, and attacking quality. Head coach Luis Enrique praised the players’ execution of the game plan, calling it a professional display.
There were some concerns, however. Midfielder Joao Neves was forced off with an injury. PSG already have players like Ousmane Dembele and Desire Doue on the sidelines. The squad’s depth will be tested in the coming weeks.
Next, PSG will face Barcelona in a highly anticipated group clash on October 1. Atalanta, meanwhile, will meet Club Brugge in their next match.
With this 4-0 victory, PSG have sent a strong message across Europe. The defending champions look ready to compete again at the highest level.
