If Paris Saint-Germain suffered the cannon fire of Arsenal (2-0), the thunder of Brest struck again in Salzburg (4-0), and the Breton debutants are second in the Champions League after the Tuesday matches 1is october.
The lesson. Without Ousmane Dembélé, punished, PSG suffered the law of the “Gunners”, always as skillful on set pieces, while its goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma showed himself to be very clumsy with his failed exit in front of Leandro Trossard and his vigilance deceived by a blow mischievous frank from Bukayo Saka. Luis Enrique’s team suffered its first defeat of the season and returned to the league stage, 18th out of 36 pending Wednesday’s matches, including Lille – Real Madrid and Dinamo Zagreb – Monaco.
Brest, on the other hand, is still on cloud nine in second place. Thanks in particular to a double from Abdallah Sima, the only club in history with 100% victories in European Cups (two out of two) outclassed Salzburg, a decidedly not very sparkling Red Bull, already swept aside by Sparta Prague (3-0) in the first match.
Until their next meeting at Guingamp – their stadium is not approved – against Bayer Leverkusen, the “Pirates” are pursuing their dream.
Brest was first
The Breton club will remember that it was first in the ranking at 8:40 p.m. while waiting for the evening matches. It was doubled in the evening by Borussia Dortmund, the only other team to have six points with Bayer Leverkusen.
Last year’s finalist tore apart Celtic Glasgow (7-1) in one of the two evening matches between former C1 winners, with a hat-trick from Karim Adeyemi and a double from Serhou Guirassy.

Inter Milan beat Red Star Belgrade (4-0) in Tuesday’s other duel between teams allowed to sew a cut with big ears on their jersey sleeves. The third match of the 2nd day between former winners of the trophy, Aston Villa – Bayern Munich, is played on Wednesday.
On the senior side, FC Barcelona largely dominated Young Boys Berne (5-0) with two goals from Robert Lewandowski and Manchester City made up for it at Slovan Bratislava (4-0) for its missed start against Inter (0-0).
In the other evening poster, with Arsenal-PSG, Bayer Leverkusen beat AC Milan (1-0) thanks to a goal from Nigerian Victor Boniface. The German champions are 3rd, but in terms of the number of goals scored (6 pts, +5, 6 goals scored against 5), they remain behind Brest.
