PSG Dominates with 6-1 Victory: Champions League Recap

Where do you want to start? Because what a first match day we have. Absolutely. I mean, should we start with the reigning champs, PSG? Tremendous. One defeat of Pelovan. What a what a performance for the French team. Two time champions. And they said, you know what? Let's start just scoring the most goals of any other team. And maybe we leave our starters in the bench as well. Because why not? Because we're that type of team. You know, I think PSG, they did it once, they did it twice again, and they can absolutely do it a third time. I think, you know, they had 68 percent possession. They had 12 shots on target, 32 shots overall. An incredible performance. We know Torres had the hat trick, Dembele with the brace. And of course, Fabian Ruiz at the very end. But this is just, you know, an unstoppable team. And I would not be surprised if they go again for, you know, deep into the Champions League and maybe even win it for a third time in a row. Let me bring the deep stats to this game, Camila. 37 goals recovered. What a performance as a team. But I want to highlight this number. 116 kilometers covered. This is a team that runs at 92 percent passing accuracy. The attacking, it was supreme. You can see that the volume is not crazy. The effectivity is five goals inside the area, one goal outside the area. They build and they build and they build. They're not trying to find cracks. They are creating these cracks. 14 attempts on target. 16 of target and five attempts blocked. It was all PSG all night long. Seven corners take it. 17 dribbles, 19 runs into key play areas and only four offsides. What a what a performance, Camila. This is this is what we expected from them. And I think that we're going to see a lot more from PSG. What other teams really surprised you this match, the number one? You know, absolutely. I think another match that was also high scoring, similar to PSG, Bayern Munich winning 5-0 today. We just game just ended another really, you know, dominating result. Bayern Munich. We always keep them as favorites in this competition. As of late, the German teams have not been able to win it all out. But Bayern Munich is a titan of the competition. Every game against them is really hard. And Bodo Glimtis is an specialist of, you know, scraping points out of these big teams. It wasn't the case with Bayern Munich. Barcelona also scoring in bunches 5-1. What a performance from Rafinha. A little bit hurt that he was not nominated for the Ballon d'Or, but he came out and play como los grandes. Now, Arsenal barely getting that result, PSG, but, you know, barely getting that result last season. They were undefeated on the league stage. Let me pull some more results coming up. I think that Real Madrid. Let's talk about Real Madrid, because there's so much expectation with Mourinho in the helm and this defensive new team that was pretty leaky out the back on this game. Cami, what's your analysis? Absolutely. I mean, I think what I'm yet to see from this from this team is do they have the stars? Yes, they have incredible A-list transfers. They have such, you know, an amazing squad. Now, but I'm not really seeing that chemistry yet. It doesn't feel like a team. It feels like a lot of individual players. You know, for me, some questionable calls, some questionable calls. I love Cuporella as a defender. I think he's, you know, really entertaining to watch. But again, he seems a little desperate in his defending. You know, we know he likes to antagonize his players a little bit, but I don't know. It felt very much like individual performances and not really a complete win. Federico Valverde was named the player of the match. To me, it was an injusticia. It was a robbery because the player of the match, if you were watching this game, is Courtois. The goalkeeper kept everything out. Inter in the second half was a machine. It was a bad mistake, though. What? He did cause the goalie for Inter. He did cause a really bad mistake. He tried to do a cheeky behind the leg. And you can't do that to Real Madrid. No, Federico Valverde loves to score in Champions League. He is one of those players that just know how to do it. Cami, how difficult the role gets for a team like Inter that starts out poorly against Real Madrid with a lot of ideas and a lot of football. But when you have critical mistakes at goal and then you don't have a real backup for that goalkeeper, they actually bypass this summer transfer window with no backup for this goalkeeper. So let's hope that he gets better. But as we very well know, whenever goalkeepers have these type of mistakes in Champions League, they do not recover quickly, anemically from, you know, the stage that these mistakes happen at. So yeah, he's going to be tall. I will say just really quickly to end it off. I will say that after that mistake, he did do a phenomenal job later in the second half. He was really blocking almost every shot coming from Real Madrid. So, hey, let's give him the benefit of the doubt. Maybe it was just one mistake and he can start off the next game on better footing.
