UCL: Angel floors the Saints! Correa's late dagger silences Parc des Princes

A last-gasp winner from Ángel Correa shocked Paris Saint-Germain at the Parc des Princes, as Atlético Madrid left with a dramatic 2-1 win – their first-ever victory over PSG in their head-to-head meetings.

With the pressure of knowing a loss could complicate direct qualification for the knockout rounds, PSG started aggressively, channeling their attack down the right. Both Achraf Hakimi and Ousmane Dembélé had early attempts go wide and delivered a series of threatening crosses, exposing Atlético’s Javi Galán on defense. PSG’s opening goal, however, came less from their own creativity and more from an Atlético error. In the 15th minute, Clément Lenglet hesitated with the ball and was dispossessed by Dembélé, who set up Warren Zaïre-Emery for a clever chip over Jan Oblak.

Atlético had struggled to make an impact up to that point, but a rare chance led to an immediate equalizer. A loose ball off Willian Pacho found Nahuel Molina, who capitalized with a powerful left-footed volley into the far corner. The goal, coming just four minutes after PSG’s opener, didn’t deflate the home side, who kept pressing through Dembélé’s efforts, but they were unable to retake the lead before halftime despite their control of the game.

After the break, the tempo slowed slightly, but PSG was ready to counterattack whenever Atlético committed more players forward. Oblak was kept busy, denying a near-post attempt from Hakimi and a curled shot from Bradley Barcola, as pressure continued to build on the Atlético defense. A golden opportunity came when Marquinhos, unmarked just yards from goal, headed straight at Oblak, who held firm under PSG’s relentless attempts.

That late PSG push seemed to drain their energy, and Atlético, having barely threatened in the second half, stunned the home crowd with a swift counter. Antoine Griezmann lofted a precise pass to substitute Correa, who cut inside and slotted the ball into the far corner past Donnarumma’s outstretched hands. PSG’s lack of clinical finishing ultimately proved costly, with only three goals from four Champions League matches leaving them in a precarious position in the league stage standings.
