Ferran Torres fires Paris Saint Germain to 6-1 rout

Ferran Torres’ Champions League debut hat-trick turned Paris Saint Germain’s opening League Stage night into a statement, with Slovan Bratislava overwhelmed 6-1 at Parc des Princes. Ousmane Dembélé set the early pace, scoring twice and creating two more as the home side raced to the top of the standings.

Dembélé breaks Slovan resistance

Dembélé opened the scoring in the 17th minute when Nuno Mendes’ swerving long-range drive struck the post and the forward converted the rebound inside the right post. Six minutes later, he doubled the lead with a back-post header after Dro Fernández’s cross deflected into his path.

Paris Saint Germain had their third by the 31st minute. Dembélé drove a low ball across the six-yard area and Torres poked it home, sending the hosts into half-time with a 3-0 lead and Slovan already facing a daunting recovery.

Torres turns control into a debut landmark

Torres made it four two minutes after the restart, curling an edge-of-the-box effort into the top-right corner after Maghnes Akliouche’s solo run. His third arrived in the 57th minute, when he turned in Dembélé’s quick corner to complete a memorable European debut for Paris Saint Germain.

Slovan found a response a minute later through Suleiman Camara, who cut inside past Illia Zabarnyi before blasting into the far top corner from Tigran Barseghyan’s assist. The visitors’ brief lift did not alter the direction of the contest, and Fabián Ruiz added a sixth in the 87th minute with a left-footed volley into the bottom corner after a deflected delivery fell at the penalty spot.

Paris Saint Germain seize early command

The scoreline reflected sustained control rather than a late surge. Paris Saint Germain had 72% possession, produced 35 shots to Slovan’s nine and put 14 attempts on target, while their visitors managed four. Seven corners to two underlined the territorial pressure.

The result puts Paris Saint Germain first after the opening round on three points and extends their unbeaten European run to 12 matches. Slovan sit 36th with no points, while the defeat was their ninth consecutive Champions League league-phase loss.
