PSG winless streak extended with Atlético draw


PSG winless streak extended with Atlético draw

Paris St-Germain's winning streak in the Champions League lasted three games as they lost at home to Atlético Madrid.

Angel Correa scored in the third minute of added time at the end of a hard-fought duel to secure victory for the Spaniards.

18-year-old PSG midfielder Warren Zaire-Emery became the youngest player in the competition's history to start 15 games – and marked the occasion with an early opener.

It happened in the 14th minute after Atletico defender Clement Lenglet suffered a lapse in concentration that allowed his former Barcelona teammate Ousmane Dembele to steal the ball just inside the penalty area. The French winger passed the ball to Zaire-Emery, who beat Jan Oblak with a delicate dink.

The Spanish equalized four minutes later when Nahuel Molina fired the ball past Gianluigi Donnarumma from close range after the hosts failed to clear.

PSG continued to dominate the ball and put the visitors under increasing pressure as the second half progressed, with Bradley Barcola and Achraf forcing Hakimi Oblak into smart stops.

Luis Enrique's side also pushed for the winner, and substitute Correa did it in dramatic fashion.

PSG have four points after four games while Atletico have six points.

On matchday five, PSG travel to Germany to face Bayern Munich while Atletico Madrid visit Sparta Prague.
