Mbappe scored for PSG for the eighth time in a row, putting the Bundesliga runner-up in a commanding position. He has eight goals this season, accounting for 67% of the home team’s goals. Mbappe’s close buddy, defender Achraf Hakimi, also scored the other goal as Paris Saint-Germain defeated Dortmund.

PSG controlled the ball for 78% of the first half, shooting 12 times but failing to score. They fired twice more in the first half of the second half and scored two goals. Meanwhile, the visiting team failed to create any serious chances and frequently lost the ball before it could be deployed across the middle line.

Despite being outmanned, PSG was forced to rely on a contentious circumstance to score. Mbappe elbowed Niklas Sule in the arm in the 47th minute as the midfielder was dropping his weight and ready to place his hands on the ground. The penalty was quickly awarded to the home team by referee Gil Manzano, and VAR did not affect this decision, despite the fact that the distance between the two players was too close for Sule to react.

Mbappe took a penalty shot to the bottom left corner, leading goalkeeper Gregor Kobel to slide in the wrong direction before ever touching the ball. Previously in the tournament, Kobel faced two penalties, but both were saved by Riyad Mahrez (Man City) and Pedro Goncalves (Sporting).

When their star scored the first goal for the squad in the competition, the majority of the Parc des Princes audience stood up and celebrated. Mbappe is the most important player for PSG, and the Champions League is the most significant tournament.

PSG scored again just nine minutes later, this time on an improvised hit in the middle between Vitinha and Achraf Hakimi. Finally, the Portuguese midfielder extended his leg to allow the Moroccan player to pass him before sending the ball into the far corner and into the net from close range. Hakimi attempted not to celebrate scoring against his old squad, but he smiled as his teammates joined him in his joy.

Despite the fact that Dortmund did not produce many decent chances, the away team’s fans sang cheers throughout the game. In a scuffle with his opponent on the field, the yellow shirt player received successive yellow cards. In Paris, Edin Terzic’s crew did nothing but that.

The opening three points do not guarantee that PSG would comfortably defeat Group F. However, with a dominant performance, Luis Enrique and his club can move far in the tournament, potentially challenging for their first Champions League crown.
