Commentary
Two-time defending Champions League winners PSG make a real statement of intent, as their quest for the three-peat begins with a 6-1 rout of Slovan Bratislava. Ferran Torres marked his European bow for the club with a hat-trick, while Ousmane Dembele scored twice, and Fabian Ruiz was also on target for Luis Enrique's side, who had an xG of 4.71 to their opponents' 0.64. They hit the front in the 17th minute when Dembele drilled home after Mendes rattled the post, with the former adding a second six minutes later, nodding in from Fernandez's deflected cross. Dembele turned provider in the 31st minute, with his delicious centre guided in by Torres. The World Cup winner bent home his second goal from the edge of the box within two minutes of the restart. He then completed his hat-trick in the 57th minute when bundling in from Dembele's corner. The impressive Suleiman Camara scored a magnificent individual goal soon after to give Yaya Toure's side something to shout about. However, PSG had the final word, with Fabian Ruiz making it six with three minutes remaining. They will now look to channel that momentum on Sunday, when they travel to Brest seeking their first win of the Ligue 1 season. Slovan, meanwhile, resume their Slovakian First League campaign on the same day at home to Zilina. Thanks for joining us today. Until next time, goodbye!
FULL-TIME: PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN 6-1 SLOVAN BRATISLAVA
Despite the scoreline, Slovan have given a decent account of themselves here. There's definitely plenty of individual quality in their ranks. That will encourage Toure, as he aims to oversee an improved campaign from their eight straight defeats from two seasons ago.
The defending champions continue to go in search of more goals. The ball is cut back from the right side with Godts arriving late in the box, but he can't steer his first-time attempt on target.
PSG have some tough tests to navigate during this league phase. Luis Enrique's side will also face Manchester City, Barcelona, Villarreal, Roma, Aston Villa, Como and Galatasaray. While this was never going to be their most difficult assignment, it's one that will give them plenty of confidence and momentum to build on.

FABIAN RUIZ GETS HIS GOAL!!! 6-1! PSG quickly take a corner, and Fernandez has space in the right side of the box. His cross is only cleared straight to Fabian Ruiz, whose first-time shot nestles in the far corner past a flat-footed Takac. PSG have six.
