Bayer Leverkusen suffered a heavy 7-2 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Champions League, despite a high-scoring spectacle with two penalties and numerous goals from both sides. The match saw Leverkusen's hopes dashed by two red cards and a missed penalty, while PSG temporarily took the top spot in their group with a dominant performance.
The game started with high intensity, with both sides eager to make an impact. PSG opened the scoring through a hat-trick from Désiré Doué, who capitalised on Leverkusen's defensive frailties. Ousmane Dembélé, returning from injury, added to the tally, putting PSG in a commanding position.
