Kylian Mbappe, Randal Kolo Muani, and Lee Kang-in were all on target as PSG got back to winning in the Champions League with an excellent 3-0 win against AC Milan on Wednesday.
Paris-Saint Germain were eager to break the spell of their 4-1 defeat on the road to Newcastle United three weeks ago and they brought too much attacking for Milan at the Parc des Princes.
Mbappe opened the scoring lines with a deadly finish just after the half-hour mark for his 10th club goal this season, and Kolo Muani delivered another shortly after half-time. Lee Kang-in then came off the bench to score the third goal later on, which was his first for PSG.
PSG made a massive comeback this season, showing a different side of themselves from the disorganized team that was saddled with forwards and overrun in midfield in the defeat by Newcastle.
Starting their European campaign with a 2-0 home win against Borussia Dortmund, Paris-Saint Germain tops Group F at the halfway stage with six points ahead of a trip to Milan early next month.
AC Milan the seventh-time European champions are bottom of the group with two points and a huge concern for Stefano Pioli’s team will be that they need to score a goal in the competition this season.
This match witnessed French international brothers Lucas Hernandez, the PSG defender, and Theo, the Milan captain, face off against each other for the first time. It also saw PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma and his Milan counterpart Mike Maignan come up against the clubs where they started their careers.
However, the stars of this show were somewhere else, with Kylian Mbappe who was hugged by a pitch invader in the first half looking debatedly sharper than he has ever done at any point up to now this season for PSG.
