Di Maria saves PSG day

Angel Di Maria (in black) strikes the curler in the stoppage time to salvage a point for PSG as Napoli defenders look hapless, Wednesday

Paris: Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) coach Thomas Tuchel accepted that his side have to improve in Europe after requiring an injury-time Angel Di Maria goal to draw 2-2 with Napoli in their Champions League match, Wednesday.

PSG looked beaten until Di Maria curled home in the third minute of time added on, salvaging a point from a game. Prior to that it looked as though goals from Lorenzo Insigne and Dries Mertens, either side of a Mario Rui own goal, would give Carlo Ancelotti’s Napoli the victory in the French capital.

But just as PSG looked defeated, substitute Julian Draxler found Di Maria in the 93rd minute and he curled a shot high into the top-left corner from 20 yards.

Dortmund thrash Atletico

Dortmund: Borussia Dortmund stunned Atletico Madrid with a 4-0 thrashing to move to the verge of the Champions League knockout stage, as English teenager Jadon Sancho scored his first goal in the competition, Wednesday.

The loss, the heaviest Champions League defeat ever suffered by Diego Simeone in seven years as Atletico head coach, put Dortmund top of Group A after both teams had previously beaten Club Brugge and Monaco.

Axel Witsel gave Dortmund the lead when his first-half shot took a wicked deflection, before Raphael Guerreiro, who scored twice in the second period, and 18-year-old Sancho came off the bench to grab the other goals.
