PSG Revives Champions League Hopes with 3-0 Victory Over Red Bull Salzburg

Paris Saint-Germain revives Champions League hopes with commanding win

Paris, December 10, 2024 – In a crucial match against Red Bull Salzburg, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) secured a decisive 3-0 victory on Tuesday night, keeping their UEFA Champions League aspirations alive. This win, marking the 6th matchday of the group stage, was vital for PSG’s campaign.

PSG’s decisive victory keeps them in the race

Key players Gonçalo Ramos, Nuno Mendes, and Désiré Doué were instrumental in PSG’s success, ensuring the team earned the much-needed 3 points. As a result, PSG now has a total of 7 points, temporarily placing them in 24th position in the standings.

For Red Bull Salzburg, the defeat is a severe setback. With only 3 points to their name, their chances of advancing to the knockout stages of the Champions League are now slim.

Ramos paves the way for PSG’s triumph

Under the guidance of manager Luis Enrique, PSG started the match with a strong presence, dominating possession and applying pressure on Salzburg’s defense. Despite their efforts, PSG initially struggled to convert opportunities into goals.

However, Gonçalo Ramos made a breakthrough, scoring his first goal of the season. After missing an early chance, Ramos capitalized on a header from Hakimi, tapping the ball into the net (1-0, 30th minute). PSG went into halftime with a slender lead.
