PSG vs Real Madrid: Di Maria's Brace Inspires French Side to Champions League Win ¶
Paris Saint-Germain's Angel Di Maria scored a brace to lead his team to a 3-0 win over Real Madrid in the Champions League.
Di Maria's goals in the 14th and 30th minutes were enough to secure the win for PSG, who were without key players Neymar, Edinson Cavani, and Kylian Mbappe.
Real Madrid, who were also missing several key players, including skipper Sergio Ramos, Isco, and Marcelo, were unable to find the back of the net.
Eden Hazard came closest to scoring for Real Madrid, but fired wide despite having acres of space.
Di Maria's second goal was a powerful drive into the bottom-right corner, and PSG's third goal came from Thomas Meunier at the stroke of stoppage time.
PSG now sit top of Group A with three points, two above Galatasary who settled for a draw against Club Brugge in another group fixture.
