PSG cruises past Slovan Bratislava in UCL opener

Paris Saint-Germain kicked off their 2026/27 UEFA Champions League campaign in style with a dominant 6-1 victory over Slovan Bratislava at the Parc des Princes.

The reigning European champions quickly took control of the game, with Ousmane Dembélé scoring twice inside the opening 23 minutes before summer signing Ferran Torres added a third to give Paris a comfortable lead at the break.

Torres continued the show after half-time, scoring twice more to complete his hat-trick and put the game beyond the Slovakian champions. Slovan pulled one back through Suleiman Camara, but Fabián Ruiz completed the scoring late on.

PSG finished the night with 35 attempts, their highest total in a Champions League match since Opta began collecting the data in 2003/04.

A convincing start for Paris as they begin their pursuit of a third consecutive Champions League title.
