Paris Saint-Germain delivered a football masterclass on Tuesday, crushing Bayer Leverkusen 7-2 in a UEFA Champions League match that showcased their attacking prowess. The victory propels PSG to the top of their group standings with three consecutive wins this season.
The match turned decisively when Leverkusen captain Robert Andrich received a red card in the 32nd minute for elbowing PSG's Desire Doue. Despite briefly equalizing through Aleix Garcia's penalty, the German side collapsed under relentless pressure from the French champions.
Doue emerged as the night's standout performer, scoring twice and exploiting defensive gaps created by Leverkusen's reduced numbers. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia's precision strike off the post just before halftime effectively sealed the hosts' fate, with PSG adding four more goals in a dominant second-half display.
The result highlights PSG's status as serious title contenders while raising questions about Leverkusen's European credentials. Both teams now prepare for their November 1 rematch in Paris, where the German side will seek redemption.
