PSG vs. Slovan Bratislava Player of the Match
Ousmane Dembélé (Paris Saint Germain)
Dembélé was the driving force behind PSG's six-goal demolition, directly contributing to four of them before his withdrawal.
His opening goal came after Nuno Mendes struck the post, with Dembélé controlling and finishing coolly with his left foot, before heading in unmarked six minutes later to double the lead.
Two assists for Ferran Torres demonstrated his creative influence, while his movement and dribbling consistently pulled Slovan's defence apart.
The forward registered 10 shots and was denied a third goal only by a remarkable Takac save.
