Marcus Rashford repeated his late Parisian heroics with a superb winner as Manchester United marked their return to the Champions League with a fine win at the home of last season's beaten finalists Paris St-Germain.
Match Reports
Rashford's stoppage-time penalty sealed a famous victory at the Parc des Princes 18 months ago and the England striker was again on target to ensure Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side start a formidable group with maximum points.
The visitors had excelled in a first half which saw Bruno Fernandes stroke them ahead with a twice-taken penalty.
But the multiple French champions were far stronger and threatening in the second half and deservedly drew level when United striker Anthony Martial headed into his own net.
David de Gea had to put in a much-improved display in United's goal, making strong saves to deny PSG's superstar duo Kylian Mbappe and Neymar.
And the sides looked set to share the points when Rashford collected a pass from substitute Paul Pogba, rolled away from a defender and fired in off the base of the post from 20 yards.

Summary of the Match Rashford is unpredictable Martial is not good enough for Man U Pogba is still the King Bruno Fernandez is playing in the right team but at the wrong time Wan Bissaka would have be the best right back in the world, if not for the Lack if crossing Congratulations to all United Fans

This time, PSG has no excuses. They lost even with Neymar and MbappΓ© together. Credit to Man Utd for pulling it off again. ππ» Some people here on AF may have mocked them after the 6-1 defeat to Tottenham but they've come back well to prove the haters wrong. They go into the weekend's match as favourites against us π

No player made more tackles in the Champions League this evening than Aaron Wan-Bissaka (6). Spider-Wan shuts down a left-hand side worth more than β¬400m. πΈ

Can someone please tell me what Ole had for breakfast this morning? I don't say this often but Man U was TACTICALLY brilliant playing in a 3-4-2-1 formation with 3 at the back, 4 at the first midfield line and Bruno at the base of a diamond formation along with Rashford and Martial. A 5-man midfield virtually choked PSG players cutting supply lines to Neymar, Mbappe and Di Maria. In defensive situations wing backs Alex Telles and Wan-Bissaka could drop back forming a 5- man wall. Note also Man U played with 2 LBs :Telles( versatile at midfield also) and Shaw, effectively challenging runs from Di Maria, Neymar or Mbappe if any of them chose that route. Great work OLE!!

once penalty, always penalty[Crylaugh][Crylaugh]
it's high time people accept penalty as an art.. with VAR nowadays, you don't get penalties by cheating.. and if your team doesn't get penalties, don't cry over for other teams getting penalties earned rightfully
