A brace from Mbappé drives PSG against Juventus (2-1)

A brace from Kylian Mbappé propelled PSG ahead of Juventus at the Parc des Princes. The Frenchman's main ally was Neymar, who continued in his remarkable line from this start of the season. With the World Cup on the horizon, the Brazilian is getting his act together while on this occasion Messi had a more discreet step through the match. The Argentine was substituted at the end. Carlos Soler entered for him, who made his debut with PSG.

With his luxury trident in attack and with Ramos at the core of the defense, PSG entered the scene dominating the tempo of the match against a Juventus team that preferred to speculate on the way out and paid for it very quickly.

Five minutes later, Neymar invented a delicious spoon assist towards Mbappé, who connected a shot without dropping the ball. A goal sir. The Parisian goal did not change the dynamic of the match although Bonucci had an excellent opportunity to equalize. He was not right and Juve lost their opportunity.

PSG continued to do their thing and another quick combination between Verratti, Achraf and Mbappé was the striker's second goal of the night. It was a supersonic connection. Juventus looked overwhelmed by PSG's animated fantasies. However, in the second half the Italians reacted. It was just after an action in which Mbappé did not assist Neymar when the Brazilian was alone. Mckennie (53) closed the gap for Juve from a corner after a poor start from Donnarumma, who later redeemed himself by stopping a shot from Vlahovic.

Juve turned in search of a tie but did not find it.

On the other hand, Chelsea fell in the field of Dinamo Zagreb in the premiere of the former azulgrana Aubameyang. The forward played with a mask due to the jaw injury caused by the thieves who entered his home in Castelldefels. A goal from Orsic in the 13th minute gave the Croats victory. In the same group, in Salzburg, the Austrians drew against Milan. Okafor advanced to Salzburg in the 28th minute. Saelemaekers leveled for the Lombards in the 40th minute. In the 57th minute, Sergiño Dest made his Milan debut.
