- Manchester United got off to an excellent start in Paris to the new Champions League season.
- Marcus Rashford scored the decisive goal in the 2-1 blow against PSG just before the end.
- You can find out how the games of groups E, F and G ended here.
The 87th minute passed at the Parc des Princes when Manchester United launched another attack. The guests had checked PSG goalkeeper Keylor Navas several times, always without success.
But now Marcus Rashford perked up on the edge of the penalty area. The United striker served from 16 meters and hit the net through the inside post. Even strong Navas didn’t stand a chance for once.
Despite 3 minutes of injury time, Paris could no longer react and suffered an initial defeat not necessarily expected. Manchester’s victory was not undeserved. After the moderate first half, the guests had very good opportunities after the change.
Rashford on the third try
It was no coincidence that Rashford was ultimately the winning scorer. The 22-year-old was very close to 2-1 in the 69th and 80th minutes, but Navas was always there. True to the motto “All good things come in pairs,” it worked for the committed attacker shortly before the end.
Bruno Fernandes on the second try
In a first half with few highlights, PSG started the game quickly. But Manchester took the lead. After Abdou Diallo’s foul on Anthony Martial, Bruno Fernandes was able to take the penalty.
The Portuguese did this provocatively by chance, and quickly failed due to Navas’ good response. But as the PSG goalkeeper had moved a bit away from the goal line, the penalty was repeated. This time Navas took the wrong corner. As a result, PSG lacked ideas to counterattack before the break.
Manchester with ninth own goal
The 1-1 came in the 55th minute with an own goal. After a corner kick from PSG, forward Anthony Martial headed the leather in the best way in the mesh of the wrong goal. It was CL’s 9th own goal for the Red Devils, which marks a premier class record.
The Frenchman, for whom Kylian Mbappé was the most outstanding figure, could not take advantage of the hour and put the 2-1. This was later punished by Rashford.
Leipzig thanks to Angelino
RB Leipzig, a semi-finalist in the last campaign, got off to a great start in “first class”. The Bundesliga club faced CL newcomer Basaksehir Istanbul for a 2-0 home win. Angelino was the man in charge. The left wing of the “Bulls” scored both goals. In the 16th minute, the Spaniard found himself behind a wonderful ball from the corner. Four minutes later he doubled down after a nice combination over Yussuf Poulsen and Kevin Kampl.
