  "account": "Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) kicked off their defense of the Champions League title with a dominant 6-1 victory over Slovan Bratislava at the Parc des Princes. Ferran Torres scored a hat-trick, while Ousmane Dembele also made an impact. Last year's Ballon d'Or winner Dembele had already scored twice by halftime, setting up Torres to score the third of his four goals. Torres added two more before the break, with Suleiman Camara pulling one back for the Slovakian side. Fabian Ruiz completed the clean sheet with a late goal. The French club are aiming to become the first team to win the Champions League three years in a row, following in the footsteps of 2016-2018's Real Madrid. PSG's next matches will pit them against Manchester City and Barcelona, both teams hoping to stop their winning streak.",
