Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) started their UEFA Champions League campaign with a 1-0 win against Girona, but the way they secured the three points became the main talking point of the night. PSG won thanks to an own goal by Girona goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga in the 90th minute.
PSG’s Champions League Win Over Girona
PSG hosted Girona in the first week of the UEFA Champions League and secured a 1-0 victory. The decisive moment came in the 90th minute when PSG’s left-back Nuno Mendes broke down the left flank, dribbling past his opponent to enter the penalty area. Near the byline, Mendes crossed the ball into the box, where Girona goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga attempted to make a save but accidentally let the ball slip through his legs and into the net.
This unfortunate own goal by Gazzaniga became one of the most talked-about moments of the night in the Champions League.
