After a goal in the second minute, PSG hangs on to Madrid

On the pitch of the Santiago Bernabéu stadium, the Parisians conceded the first goal in the second minute, but held on until the end to walk away with a valuable point. In the opening day of the Women's Champions League, Real Madrid opened the scoring, but Paris Saint‑Germain equalised thanks to a penalty.

The first goal was scored by striker Felicia Schröder in the second minute, after a precise cross from Arianna Caruso that found the flyer at the far post.

The Parisians lost two consecutive balls, allowing the 19‑year‑old Swedish player to come close to a brace before goalkeeper Kasia Kiedrzynek’s exit in the 55th minute deprived her of a chance, the post then saving the Polish player in the 58th.

Late equaliser in the 74th minute

A penalty was awarded after Maëlle Lakrar’s foul on Léa Morissaint in the 71st minute. Captain Sakina Karchaoui did not hesitate and converted the kick in the 74th, thus giving the point to the Parisians.

The PSG women already show better results than the previous season, when they were eliminated in the league phase with four defeats and only one point in five matches.

The next meeting will take place in Paris, where PSG will face the Belgian club of Leuven.

The players, led by Paulo Cesar, have sparked two comments from supporters on the site, highlighting the team’s progress.
