PSG fragment Atalanta in a defensive bid for Champions League title retention
PSG Secures Champions League Victory Over Atalanta
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) clinched their spot in the Champions League final with a hard-fought 3-0 victory over Atalanta at the Parc des Princes.
The game began with PSG exploding into action, scoring a goal within three minutes. Marquinhos was the scorer, capitalising on a chance set up by Bradley Barcola and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. Raoul Bellanova slid trying to stop Marquinhos, who rammed the ball past an equally befuddled Carnesecchi at his near post.
Despite several chances for PSG to score a second goal, they failed to capitalise, allowing Atalanta to settle into the game and start stringing passes together. A wild shot over the crossbar by Odilon Kossounou was the closest Atalanta came to scoring.
PSG's second goal came seven minutes after the break, with Mendes scoring the decisive strike. Kvaratskhelia attempted to score a second goal for PSG, but his effort was unsuccessful.
In the final moments of the game, Gonçalo Ramos added the gloss for 4-0 in stoppage-time.
Elsewhere, Liverpool needed a stoppage-time goal from skipper Virgil van Dijk to see off Atletico Madrid 3-2 at Anfield.
Meanwhile, PSG is set to participate in the Club World Cup as Champions League victors. Mendes, speaking after the game, stated that PSG played a good match from the beginning to the end and are on the right path.
The specific players used in the striker position for PSG after the absences of Ousmane Dembélé and Désiré Doué are not detailed in the available sources. However, it is known that Yunus Musah was given a penalty for tripping Marquinhos, but Barcola missed the penalty.
Thousands of people are expected to line the Champs-Elysees for PSG's Champions League victory gala in the coming days. Bayern Munich beat Chelsea 3-1, with Marcus Thuram scoring a brace for Inter Milan in a 2-0 win at Ajax in other games.
