Paris Saint-Germain began its Champions League title defense in style with a commanding 4-0 win over Atalanta at Parc des Princes on Wednesday. Captain Marquinhos set the tone early, pressing high to win the ball and finishing Fabian Ruiz’s cross inside three minutes. The hosts dominated with their trademark intensity and fluid attacking moves. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia doubled the lead before halftime, while Nuno Mendes added a fine strike after the break.
Substitute Goncalo Ramos sealed the victory late on. Bradley Barcola missed a first-half penalty, but it hardly mattered as Luis Enrique’s side showed the same ruthless edge that crushed Inter Milan 5-0 in last season’s final. “We prepared well and delivered a strong performance to overcome Atalanta,” Enrique said. PSG next travels to Barcelona’s Camp Nou on October 1, looking to build further momentum.
