PSG scored a 1-0 victory over Girona in the opening match of the Champions League, which has been taking place this year with a new format.
That there were not many cases is also confirmed by the fact that in the first half, precisely in the 13th minute, Marco Asensio was the only one who took a risk, but without success.

At the beginning of the second half, Ousmane Dembele took two chances in the 55′ and 62′ minutes, but did not find the net.
In the 77th minute, PSG asked for a penalty after Ladislav Krejci played with his hand in the area, but the referee did not think so.
As the match was drawing to a close, PSG increased their attacks on Girona’s goal.

In the 82nd minute, Achraf Hakimi assisted Randal Kolo Muani, but he didn’t score from close range either.
Hakimi and Dembele also in the 86th minute, both failed to score.
When Girona were expected to make a fantastic debut in the Champions League, Nuno Mendes appeared on the scene and scored for PSG 1-0.
