How PSG beat Borussia Dortmund 2-0 in Champions League ...

Luis Enrique is clearly striving for balance and trying to adapt to improve performances while still seeking results. The full debut he gave to Randal Kolo Muani, a late summer signing from Eintracht Frankfurt, was the third different No 9 he has used in six games; Marco Asensio has been used as a false nine, and Goncalo Ramos is Enrique’s other striker.

Ultimately, PSG controlled this game. They made rotations on the left where central midfielder Vitinha pulled wide and this allowed Kylian Mbappe to play with more freedom — which he has explicitly stated a desire for — often popping up in central areas. On the other side, right-back Achraf Hakimi pushed up and inside a lot to make a front five, supporting winger Ousmane Dembele who was pivotal in the second half, and the pair made effective wide triangles with teenager Warren Zaire-Emery.

A big step in the right direction for PSG as they build a team.
