Paris Saint-Germain has taken a big step towards the eighth finals of the Champions League. AC Milan was easily defeated in Parc des Princes. Borussia Dortmund surprisingly won at Newcastle United.
The brotherly quarrel between Lucas Hernández (PSG) and Theo Hernández (AC Milan) was not initially a spectacular spectacle in Paris. Milan, with Tijjani Reijnders in the starting line-up, mainly held back. The French star formation gambled on a temper of one of the mastodons on the front line. Trainer Luis Enrique hoped for the whims of captain Kylian Mbappé or seconds Ousmane Dembélé and Randal Kolo Muani.
It took a long time for PSG to get a grip on Milan, but once there, it was a success. And who else but Mbappé broke the spell. The star attacker immediately took advantage of the first opening in the Italians’ defense. With a shot into the short corner he left Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan without a chance.

The foot took off the accelerator for a moment, but in the second half the Parisians pressed it hard again. Dembélé seemed to immediately double the margin with a low slider, but the party was stopped after the intervention of the video referee. Kolo Muani struck moments later. After a clever corner, he tapped his first Champions League goal against the ropes from close range.

Milan started chasing the tying goal, but except for a chance for Rafael Leão, never really came close to a result. Mbappé even had the chance to score another goal, but he hit the post. However, Lee Kang-in managed to put the icing on the cake. After a nice switch from Gonçalo Ramos, he scored. As a result, Paris Saint-Germain takes power in Group F. The French top club took six points in three matches. Milan have so far not achieved more than two points.
Newcastle United enjoyed their first Champions League participation in twenty years. The English club started well with four points from two games. Expectations were high at a swirling St. James’ Park on Wednesday evening. Borussia Dortmund had to be tied to the victory cart.
Newcastle started without the injured Sven Botman. However, the Germans, with Donyell Malen on the right flank, made it extremely difficult for the home team. Dortmund were the better team in the first half. Malen had the opportunity to open the score three times, but the Dutch international failed to do so. On the other hand, Anthony Gordon missed a great chance.
Gordon became the schlemiel of the first company, as the very expensive attacker suffered an expensive loss of ball just before half time. Dortmund responded extremely effectively in the transition. On a pass from Nico Schlotterbeck, Felix Nmecha scored an icy cool shot. As a result, Newcastle had to give chase.

In the second half, Newcastle, supported by the exuberant supporters, tried to undo the damage. However, the English did not get further than an opportunity for Callum Wilson for a long time. Just before the end, Gordon seemed to be able to release the ball, but he hit the crossbar. As a result, Dortmund achieved a very nice victory and settled above the home team in the group rankings.
