Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) delivered a masterclass in attacking football as they demolished Bayer Leverkusen 7–2 in a breathtaking UEFA Champions League (UCL) encounter. The victory not only extended Les Parisiens’ winning streak in Europe to five games but also reminded the world why they remain one of the most dangerous attacking forces on the continent.
⚽ Early Dominance and Nuno Mendes’ Magic
From the very first whistle, PSG imposed its will on the game. The visitors dominated possession and struck early — just seven minutes in — when Nuno Mendes turned creator. After a short corner, the Portuguese left-back sent in a pinpoint cross that Willian Pacho met perfectly, heading home his first-ever PSG goal.
Leverkusen had a chance to respond when a handball by Ilya Zabarnyi gave Alejandro Grimaldo a penalty, but his effort cannoned off the post, letting PSG off the hook.
🟥 Double Red Drama: Chaos and Resilience
The match took a dramatic turn as tempers flared. Robert Andrich was shown a straight red card for elbowing Désiré Doué, seemingly handing PSG an advantage. However, moments later, Zabarnyi’s reckless challenge on Christian Kofane saw him sent off and gifted Leverkusen another penalty — this time Aleix García made no mistake, leveling the score.
But PSG’s response was ruthless. In just three minutes, Doué and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia combined brilliantly to restore the lead. Soon after, Kvaratskhelia himself struck again, his effort bouncing in off both posts to make it 3–1.
💥 Ruthless Finishing Before and After the Break
Before halftime, Doué found space on the edge of the box to curl in another exquisite strike, sending PSG into the break with a commanding 4–1 lead. The French champions picked up right where they left off after the restart — Vitinha slipped a through ball to Mendes, who made it 5–1 despite a touch from goalkeeper Mark Flekken.
Leverkusen briefly gave their fans something to cheer about with a stunning long-range strike from García, but PSG’s avalanche was far from over. Barcola unselfishly teed up Ousmane Dembélé — the returning Ballon d’Or winner — to score just minutes after coming on, before Vitinha sealed the scoreline with a thunderous effort from distance.
European Statement from PSG
This 7–2 demolition marks PSG’s fifth consecutive UCL win, equalling their longest European winning run. It also hands Bayer Leverkusen manager Kasper Hjulmand his first defeat with the club, leaving the Germans languishing on just two points.
For Tanzanian football fans, this result is a reminder of how world-class preparation, tactical sharpness, and squad depth make the difference at the highest level. With stars like Dembélé, Mendes, and Doué in electric form, PSG are once again dreaming big — perhaps of that elusive Champions League trophy.
