Milan are now bottom of the group after Dortmund also registered a victory against Newcastle United. With no wins and no goals scored in their three games, it is looking horrible for Rossoneris.

PSG were on top in the opening minutes as they pressed high and gave Milan no time on the ball. Pioli's men settled a bit and won a couple of corners. The opening 20 minutes were played at a high intensity but PSG were looking more ready than the visitors.

In the 33rd minute, the threat that Mbappe had provided ended up resulting in the opening goal. Zaire-Emery fed the ball to the 2018 World Cup winner who bullied Tomori and buried a shot inside the near post with his right foot from just inside the box.

Pioli made some changes but it didn't favour the visitors. It looked like a nightmare start to the second half for Milan as PSG doubled their lead. A tough challenge in midfield saw Musah lose possession, and a three-on-two break ended with Dembele curling a shot inside the far post past Maignan, however, VAR picked up the foul and the goal was disallowed.

But PSG didn't have to worry about things as they got the much deserved lead in the 53rd minute. Dembele fired a low shot that Maignan could only parry to Kolo Muani, who had an easy finish past Tomori on the line.

Milan managed to test Donnarumma for the first time when Pulisic made a run through the right wing and took on a shot with his left foot but was comfortably saved by the Italian stopper.

Then Maignan produced a brilliant fingertip stop to deny Mbappe his second but still PSG got their third after some minutes. Lee Kang-In scored the third one and sealed the victory. A wonderful counter-attack ended with a cut-back that was dummied and the South Korean finished clinically.
