Champions League: PSG Hammer Real Madrid 3 Nill

Zinedine Zidane was given the shock of his life as Paris Saint-Germain launched their latest quest for Champions League success with a three-zero win over his Real Madrid side.

With Neymar suspended and Kylian Mbappe and Edinson Cavani sidelined by injury, Angel Di Maria stepped up in their absence with two first-half goals in a 3-0 triumph at the Parc des Princes.

Thomas Meunier added the third late on as Madrid, who beat PSG on the way to lifting the trophy in 2016 and 2018, were soundly beaten in their Group A opener with Eden Hazard kept quiet on his full debut.

Speaking on the defeat, Zinedine Zidane admitted to the failure of his boys as he said

We lacked intensity, we never got into the game, we created very few chances.”
