Real Madrid lost – but what was truly shocking was just how lost they looked.
On Wednesday, Paris Saint-Germain opened their Champions League campaign on a great note with a 3-0 rout of the 13-time winners at the Parc des Princes. It was a walkover for PSG.
And this happened despite the fact that Thomas Tuchel’s side were without their key players like suspended Neymar, and the injured duo Kylian Mbappe and Edinson Cavani. What would have been the fate of Real Madrid if the accurate and ruthless trio? Worse I presume.
A beautiful double from Angel Di Maria and the late strike of Thomas Meunier did the trick for PSG.
Neymar, the former Barcelona star grinned like a Cheshire cat in the stands, as his club PSG annihilated one of those he could have joined.
