Paris Saint‑James sent a bold statement across Europe, demolishing Villarreal 6‑0 on Tuesday’s Champions League night. Spanish journalists are awestruck by the Parisians’ ruthless display.
Superlatives are running thin. Across the Pyrenees, Spanish clubs keep meeting PSG’s might. Weeks after a 4‑2 triumph over Barcelona, the defending champions turned Villarreal’s turf into a 6‑0 showcase.
The 4‑minute‑plus blitz—four scores in under 15 minutes—shook La Cerámica to dust in just 7 minutes 35 seconds, as As noted.
PSG in pure Mike Tyson mode versus a terrified opponent.
Cadena Cope hailed a “triumphal run” for PSG’s European start, while El Pais described a cold, precise executor that punishes any slip. Fear‑laden language dominates the coverage.
Daniel Riolo, on RMC’s After Foot, called it a “mental mauling” as Paris “feeds on opponents’ brains”, echoing the Spanish press’s awe at PSG’s superiority.
Mundo Deportivo labelled Villarreal “intimidated”. Marca likened it to a Mike Tyson bout—corner exit, trembling legs, blow after blow, then a tap‑out. The French side crushed them instantly while locals begged for mercy.
Villarreal coach’s prophetic remarks.
Mundo Deportivo recalled Villar’s coach Iñigo Pérez warning, “PSG feels fear and shows none,” a prophecy that rang true at La Cerámica on Tuesday.
In my view, PSG is a modern tyrant, even missing four stars—Dembélé, Kvaratskhelia, Marquinhos, Mendes—yet still dominating. They sit atop the table, flawless with 12 points and 20 goals, cementing favourites status.
The only bright spot for Iberian fans: PSG’s upcoming foes are AS Rome, Aston Villa, Como and Galatasaray, meaning no Spanish side will meet them before winter ends.
