PSG progressed into the UEFA Champions League round of 16 for the 13th consecutive season with a 7-0 knockout phase playoff second-leg annihilation of Stade Brestois at the Parc des Princes, prevailing 10-0 on aggregate.
Paris Saint-Germain delivered a ruthless Champions League performance, obliterating Stade Brestois 7-0 in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League playoff tie at Parc des Princes. This emphatic victory saw Luis Enrique’s side cruise into the round of 16 with a stunning 10-0 aggregate triumph, extending their longest unbeaten run against any opponent to 32 matches (W24 D8).
PSG were in total control from start to finish, dismantling their French rivals with a clinical attacking display. Kylian Mbappe was absent from the scoresheet, but the hosts still had plenty of firepower as Bradley Barcola, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Vitinha, Desire Doue, Nuno Mendes, Goncalo Ramos, and Senny Mayulu all found the back of the net.
PSG Take Early Control With Barcola and Kvaratskhelia
Already holding a 3-0 advantage from the first leg, PSG wasted no time asserting their dominance. Bradley Barcola opened the scoring in the 20th minute, finishing superbly at the near post after latching onto Fabian Ruiz’s pinpoint long-range pass.
Brest, hoping for an unlikely comeback, nearly grabbed a goal when Pierre Lees-Melou’s effort was cleared off the line by Marquinhos. However, PSG quickly punished their opponents at the other end, with Khvicha Kvaratskhelia sliding in at the far post to score his first Champions League goal for PSG after Joao Neves set up Barcola, who provided the assist.
The visitors had a golden opportunity to reduce the deficit just before halftime, but Gianluigi Donnarumma produced a superb save to deny Lees-Melou, while Mama Balde missed the rebound.
Second-Half Onslaught as PSG Run Riot
Despite Brest showing brief signs of fight, PSG continued their relentless attacking display in the second half. Three minutes after the restart, Fabian Ruiz came close to adding another but narrowly missed the target after a fine setup by Ousmane Dembele.
Moments later, French Giants made it 3-0 as Vitinha unleashed a powerful right-footed strike past Gregoire Coudert after being set up by Ruiz. This goal further solidified PSG’s dominance, but they were far from finished.
Doue and Ramos Add to Brest’s Misery
Luis Enrique introduced fresh legs in the second half, and substitute Desire Doue made an instant impact, scoring just three minutes after coming on. Goncalo Ramos weaved past Brendan Chardonnet before laying the ball off for Doue, who produced a composed finish to make it 4-0.
PSG continued to show no mercy, adding a fifth goal through Nuno Mendes, who tapped in at the far post following a low cross from Achraf Hakimi.
Minutes later, Goncalo Ramos turned scorer, producing a delicate finish after receiving a pass from Doue, making it 6-0 and pushing Brest further into humiliation.
Senny Mayulu Completes the Rout
As the match entered its final moments, French Giants refused to slow down. Their hunger for goals was evident as Senny Mayulu put the finishing touch on an incredible night for the Parisiens, slotting home from close range after being teed up by Kvaratskhelia.
This seventh goal marked PSG’s biggest European win in recent history, capping off a truly dominant display.
