Fabian Ruiz and Vitinha set the tone with first-half goals at the iconic Rose Bowl stadium, where 80,619 fans witnessed PSG’s relentless energy. The UEFA Champions League winners haven’t lost their spark since lifting the trophy in May – and this match was pure 🔥.
Atletico’s nightmare deepened when defender Clement Lenglet saw red in the 78th minute, leaving Diego Simeone fuming on the sidelines. PSG’s Senny Mayulu and Lee Kang-in piled on the pain with late goals, while Atletico’s Alexander Sorloth missed an open net in a moment that summed up their disastrous day. 🚨
