Bayer Leverkusen/PSG – Doué, Dembélé, Vitinha… heroes and villains! | OneFootball

This Tuesday evening, Paris Saint-Germain secured a 2-7 victory (video highlights Bayer Leverkusen/PSG) against Bayer Leverkusen as part of the 3rd matchday of the 2025-2026 Champions League at the BayArena. Here are the tops and flops from this victory.

Tops –

❤️ Désiré Doué, talent returns.

He had already played again against Strasbourg, delivering a mixed performance with both successes and mistakes. This time, Désiré Doué showed that he is getting back in shape and just how much more dangerous PSG is with him. Scoring a brace, the 20-year-old midfielder/forward created numerous chances while not forgetting to defend. Enough to come off at halftime after completing his mission and to get some rest.

Ousmane Dembélé played again, and already scored.

Ousmane Dembélé, injured since the September break, was finally able to play again in the PSG shirt. And after just a few minutes, he found the back of the net, well assisted by Bradley Barcola. It’s a real pleasure to see such a player back on the pitch, with all his creativity, team spirit, and ability to make a difference.

Vitinha, the conductor in midfield.

On a night like this, you inevitably remember the flood of goals. But we shouldn’t overlook the essential role of the 25-year-old midfielder, who continues to illuminate Paris’s play, recover balls, and launch attacks. He even contributed to the goals and provided a decisive assist for Nuno Mendes. The Portuguese player continues to impress and it’s a delight. He was even rewarded with a beautiful goal.

Offensive festival.

Not everything was perfect, but you can only enjoy seeing so many goals, especially with such variety. This PSG is impressive, and the return of its attacking players is a real boost.

Flops –

😡Fragility after the 0-1.

It may seem anecdotal after such a big win, but PSG let up at 0-1, while Bayer Leverkusen, on the contrary, sparked a comeback. Paris then suffered and eventually conceded the equalizer. There was a superb reaction afterwards, which shouldn’t be forgotten. But be careful, this kind of lapse could be costly on other nights. We’re also still waiting to see Lucas Chevalier (23-year-old goalkeeper) really establish himself.
