FC Breakfast: Dembélé solidifies his position as PSG boss in Champions League, Ferran sets a historic record 🎩🥐

Paris Saint-Germain made an impressive start to their Champions League campaign, crushing Slovak side Slovan Bratislava 6-1. The highlight of the night was undoubtedly Ousmane Dembélé’s outstanding performance, with the French forward scoring twice and providing two assists. Dembélé, the reigning Ballon d’Or winner, has now scored eight of PSG’s last 15 goals in the UCL, solidifying his role as Paris’s true leader in the competition.

Another standout moment from the match was Ferran Torres’s hat-trick, marking the first time in PSG history that a player has achieved such a feat on their Champions League debut for the club. The Spaniard’s performance was a testament to the attacking prowess of the Paris side, with 35 shots on target – their highest-ever total in the competition.
