PSG opened the scoring in the 30th minute through Sergio Ramos, who atoned for a shocking earlier miss by tapping in from close range. Achraf Hakimi provided the assist with a precise cutback from the right, allowing Ramos to make amends and give PSG a deserved lead.
After the break, Salzburg came out with renewed energy and briefly threatened to level the game. However, PSG weathered the storm and doubled their advantage in the 72nd minute. The goal came after a swift counter down the left flank, where Bradley Barcola and El Chadaille Bitshiabu combined. Bitshiabu’s cutback found Nuno Mendes at the edge of the box, and the Portuguese defender made no mistake, firing into the top-right corner to give PSG a 2-0 lead.
Five minutes before the final whistle, PSG sealed the victory with a third goal. Vitinha and Hakimi combined beautifully on the right wing before Hakimi squared the ball for Warren Zaire-Emery, who delivered a clinical finish into the top-left corner. The goal capped an impressive attacking performance from PSG, as they finished the match with a commanding 3-0 scoreline.
The victory sees PSG remain in 24th place in the Champions League standings, although they remain firmly in contention for a spot in the knockout stages. With three points likely needed from their final two games, the Parisians will be confident of advancing.
For Salzburg, the defeat effectively ends their hopes of progressing in the competition. Despite a spirited showing in the second half, the Austrian side could only manage a meager 0.15 xG and now sit in 32nd place, with their European campaign all but over.
