Torres' hat trick, Zabarnoy's performance. PSG put on a show in the Champions League

"Paris Saint-Germain" secured a convincing victory over "Slovan" in the first round of the group stage of the 2026/27 Champions League.

The match at Parc des Princes ended with a 5–1 victory for the French powerhouse.

The Parisians sealed the victory as early as the first half. Ousmane Dembélé scored twice within six minutes—in the 17th and 23rd minutes. Before halftime, Ferran Torres extended PSG’s lead with a goal in the 31st minute.

After the break, the Spaniard continued his scoring spree. Torres found the back of Slovan’s net twice more—in the 47th and 57th minutes—thus completing his hat trick.

The Slovak team managed to score a consolation goal. Kamara cut the deficit in the 65th minute, but it wasn’t enough to save Slovan from a crushing defeat. Fabian Ruiz sealed the victory for the home team in the 87th minute.

Ukrainian defender Illia Zabarnyi started for PSG and helped the team secure a convincing victory. The Ukrainian players on Slovan’s roster, Danylo Ignatenko and Mykola Kukharevych, did not take the field.

In the next round of the Champions League, PSG will play away against Manchester City on October 14. Slovan will face Borussia Dortmund.
