PSG 3-0 Real Madrid: 5 Hits and Flops | UEFA Champions League 2019-20

#1 Hit: Angel Di Maria

Di Maria excelled with an inspired attacking showing when the Argentine's quality was needed most

Angel Di Maria broke the deadlock with a clever close-range finish, doubled PSG's lead with an even better strike and probably should've had a hat-trick and assist for his electric work before full-time on this occasion.

Instead, the experienced Argentine forward will have to settle with a well-taken brace - though his influence could not be understated during a match of fine margins. In hindsight, Courtois probably should have done better to thwart his first-time strike at the near post.

Despite that, he could do nothing to thwart Di Maria's stunning strike from the edge of the box. It arrowed into the right bottom corner, though questions again have to be asked of Real's backline, who allowed him time and space to shoot from distance - not a smart decision given the 32-year-old's tendency of scoring screamers in his career.

He overcooked his chipped effort wide under pressure and minutes later, danced past a handful of Real players unchallenged into the box. Having set up Pablo Sarabia, the Spaniard ultimately squandered his chance while Di Maria himself got booked for petulance after reacting angrily to a poor challenge on a teammate late on. The only blemish on a successful evening, this was an exciting display from one of PSG's true unsung heroes.
