Paris Saint-Germain kicked off their Champions League campaign in style, demolishing Atalanta 4-0 at the Parc des Princes. The team was all smiles after the victory, although some players admitted to feeling a bit fatigued from the match.
This dominating performance sets a strong tone for their European ambitions this season.
Nuno Mendes, who scored in the match, reflected on the progress the team has made since last season, noting the increasing difficulty of European competition.
“We’ve come a long way since the start of last season,” Mendes stated, emphasizing the challenges ahead. “Now, it’s tougher than last year, but we played a solid match from start to finish and managed to control the game. It’s great for us not to concede a goal at home.”
PSG’s Strong Start in Champions League
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, another scorer in the match, also expressed his satisfaction with the team’s performance. “I’m very happy we won; we played well and did our job. It was a great match,” he said. When asked about his goal, he admitted, “I don’t really remember it; I’ll have to watch it again.”
Kvaratskhelia also addressed a minor injury he suffered earlier in the week but assured fans that he was cleared to play and gave his all on the pitch.
For both Mendes and Kvaratskhelia, this emphatic victory sends a strong message right from the start of the tournament. However, they remain cautious, acknowledging the long and demanding road that lies ahead in the Champions League.
With this performance, PSG has clearly signaled their intent to be serious contenders this season.
