PSG crushes Villarreal and continues to impress in the Champions League

The poster was not as attractive as against Manchester City or against Barça. After outclassing these two European leaders, PSG did not have much to prove against Villarreal, Tuesday November 3, during the 4th day of the league phase. But the capital club, double title holder, never takes a Champions League match lightly. On a pitch he had never been on, he displayed his omnipotence (6-0). The matter was resolved in a little over a quarter of an hour.

Seven minutes and thirty-five seconds: that's the time that was enough for Luis Enrique's men to go from opening the score to 4-0. After the ambitious first five minutes of the "yellow submarine", Joao Neves recalled the extreme Parisian efficiency during European evenings. On a corner having found the delivery of Willian Pacho, the Portuguese shook the nets for the first time (9th). Désiré Doué made the break three minutes later by punishing goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi's failed restart (12th). Then, Senny Mayulu was opportunistic for the 3-0 (13th) and Fabian Ruiz allowed himself to make it 4-0 with a powerful strike from the outside of the left (17th).

PSG played until the end

This PSG, which has always expressed its desire to make history, has set itself a new record: never before has a team shown itself capable of scoring four goals after sixteen minutes of play in the Champions League. Despite this extremely comfortable – and very embarrassing for Villarreal – lead, Vitinha and his teammates continued to develop their game.

If the Spanish team tried to limit the bleeding by replacing winger Nicolas Pépé with defender Sergi Cardona at half-time, but it only took Paris five minutes to score a fifth goal thanks to a Fabian Ruiz found behind the defense (50th) and therefore author of a double. Symbol of a team that succeeds in everything, young David Boly (17) scored the 6-0 goal on a deflected shot at the end of the match (78th) for his first in the competition.

The injury absences of Ousmane Dembélé, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Marquinhos and Nuno Mendes were not felt all evening. Already leader of the league phase before kick-off, PSG improves its goal difference a little more and can consider itself already qualified at least for the play-offs. After four days out of eight in total, he has 12 points, a total which has always helped avoid the scenario of early elimination. An ideal situation three weeks before the next Champions League match: a reception against AS Roma at the Parc des Princes on November 25.

The other French club involved this Tuesday evening would like to be able to say the same. But Losc is still slowing down in C1. After three defeats in three matches, Davide Ancelotti's team still collected its first point on the pitch of Bodo/Glimt in Norway (0-0).
