Mbappe Breaks Dortmund Down as PSG Commence Champions League Campaign with Victory

Mbappe on Form as PSG Secure Home Win

Paris, September 19 (Reuters) -

Kylian Mbappe continued his impressive form as Paris Saint-Germain launched their Champions League campaign with a 2-0 home triumph over Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday.

After a goalless first half, Mbappe produced a moment of brilliance in the 56th minute. He found space on the left wing, skillfully evaded his marker, and unleashed a shot that found the back of the net.

Despite Dortmund's attempts to equalize, PSG remained resolute in defense. The German outfit's vulnerability to counterattacks was exposed as PSG remained composed and secured a comfortable victory.

The result marks an important step for PSG, who are hoping to improve upon their recent disappointing Champions League performances. Last season, they were eliminated in the Round of 16 by eventual winners Real Madrid.

PSG's victory places them in a strong position in Group H, alongside Maccabi Haifa, Juventus, and Benfica. Their next Champions League fixture will be an away match against Maccabi Haifa on September 27.
