Luis Enrique’s squad is led by a French sensation who has scored eight goals in only five games this season.

Paris Saint-Germain showed promise under new coach Luis Enrique with a 2-0 home win against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League opener on Tuesday, led by a resurgent Kylian Mbappe.

PSG’s patience paid off with a second-half penalty from Mbappe and a beautiful goal from Achraf Hakimi at the Parc des Princes.

The defending Ligue 1 champions got some much-needed respite after suffering their first loss of the season last weekend as they faithfully applied Enrique’s possession game and won for just the third time in six competitive games this season.

After AC Milan and Newcastle played to a scoreless draw earlier on Tuesday, PSG topped Group F with three points.

PSG dominated the midfield and were seldom threatened by the home team, who struggled in their season opener, but everything clicked once Mbappe calmly buried his penalty four minutes into the second half.

When Dortmund’s Donyell Malen found himself with room inside the PSG penalty area, he took a shot that was easily stopped by PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.

Vitinha, PSG’s midfield tyrant in the first half, responded five minutes later with a beautiful shot from just outside the area that missed the post.

After thirty minutes, the Portuguese had another chance, but his shot was deflected and flew high over the crossbar.

Early in the second half, PSG finally found a cutting edge when Ousmane Dembele combined with right back Hakimi to find Kylian Mbappe in the penalty area, but Niklas Sule blocked Mbappe’s attempt.

Mbappe scored the subsequent penalty to give PSG the lead they deserved and give him 11 goals in the Champions League in his previous nine games.

In the 58th minute, after being brilliantly set up by Vitinha, Hakimi increased the lead with an exquisite chip from the outside of his boot.

The final half an hour was dominated by PSG, and they kept a clean sheet because Borussia didn’t score any goals.
