PSG reduces Villarreal to dust in seven minutes and 35 seconds

Two weeks after a 4‑2 victory over Barça, PSG crushed Villarreal 6‑0 on their turf, conceding only four goals in just over a quarter of an hour before rattling off six unanswered goals.

Reactions of the Spanish media

Enough to horrify the local media. For AS, it is “a quake that reduced La Ceramica to dust in 7 minutes 35 seconds”, the time it took the Parisians to plant the four banderillas. Radio Cadena COPE describes the European campaign of the Red and Blue as a “triumphal run”.

El País describes a cold and precise executor who toys with you with the ball and punishes the slightest mistake. It transposes the match onto a boxing ring, comparing it to the pure style of Mike Tyson. It recalled the Spanish coach’s lucidity the day before the match, warning that PSG “feels fear and shows no mercy”, a prophetic observation.

PSG's blistering start at Villarreal sets Champions League tone

For AS, PSG is a tyrant capable of crushing a Liga heavyweight despite the absence of Ousmane Dembélé and Marquinhos. Sport calls PSG a scandal, stating that the club overwhelmingly dominates the Champions League, no matter when these lines are read.

One press outlet criticized the Groguets’ performance, arguing that the least to do is to fight tooth and nail on every play as if it were the last, favoring simplicity. The locals’ helplessness was punished by the whistles of a disappointed crowd from halftime.

PSG's early onslaught leaves Villarreal reeling at La Ceramica
