ShareFerran Torres continued his first start at Paris Saint-Germain, scoring a hat-trick against Slovan Bratislava in the Champions League.Paris Saint-Germain made a blistering start to their Champions League title defence as Ferran Torres' hat-trick helped them to a thumping 6-1 win over Slovan Bratislava. Ousmane Dembele starred at the Parc des Princes as well with two goals and two assists, while Fabian Ruiz was also on target late on to hand Luis Enrique's side a much-needed win.Dro Fernandez almost rewarded PSG's fast start after three minutes, but he saw his effort repelled by the onrushing Dominik Takac, though Slovan's resistance did not last long.Nuno Mendes' thunderous effort from distance clattered against the right post, but Dembele was on hand to tuck home the rebound to give the hosts a 17th-minute lead. Dembele then flicked narrowly wide, but the Frenchman was not to be denied as he doubled PSG's lead six minutes later when he nodded in Fernandez's deflected shot at the back post to ruthlessly punish Sahmkou Camara's loose pass. Luis Enrique's side pulled further clear in the 31st minute when Ferran poked home from close range, and Dembele almost claimed a first-half hat-trick, only to see his attempt from inside the six-yard box saved onto the crossbar by Takac. PSG tightened their grip on the contest two minutes after the break through Ferran, who curled in from just outside the box following a sensational run from Maghnes Akliouche. And Ferran completed his hat-trick soon after when he instinctively turned Dembele's quick corner into the net, only for Slovan to get themselves on the board after Suleiman Camara skipped past Illia Zabarnyi before picking out the top-right corner. Mika Godts then fired wide as PSG looked to add further gloss to the scoreline, with fellow substitute Senny Mayulu forcing two quickfire saves from visiting goalkeeper Takac.But there was to be one final goal for the Champions League holders three minutes from time. A short corner from Godts saw Fernandez slipped in, with his cross cleared only as far as Fabian, who finished first time into the bottom-left corner. Ferran helps PSG put Ligue 1 troubles behind themPSG have made a far from convincing start to their Ligue 1 campaign, with the French champions failing to win any of their first three top-flight matches of a season (D2 L1) for the first time since 2012-13 (D3), but they had no such trouble in the Champions League. The Parisiens have now won their last five Champions League on MD1 by an aggregate score of 15-2. The reigning champions also scored six goals on MD1 for the first time, and it was one of their summer signings who took centre stage. Ferran became just the ninth Spanish player to score a hat-trick in the Champions League, while he is the first player to score a hat-trick on their debut in the competition for a side since Robert Lewandowski for Barcelona against Viktoria Plzen in September 2022.But Dembele, who was nominated for the Ballon d'Or, did his chances of retaining the title no harm. He is the third PSG player to score 2+ goals and provide 2+ assists in a single Champions League game, after Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi. Albeit against lesser opposition, PSG will be thrilled to score goals, but more importantly, get a win under their belts. They finished with a mammoth expected goals (xG) total of 4.71 from their 35 shots to Slovan's 0.64 from nine attempts, with Luis Enrique hoping this result can be used as momentum against Brest this Sunday.Ferran Torres continued his first start at Paris Saint-Germain, scoring a hat-trick against Slovan Bratislava in the Champions League.Paris Saint-Germain made a blistering start to their Champions League title defence as Ferran Torres' hat-trick helped them to a thumping 6-1 win over Slovan Bratislava.
