The Parisians got back on track. Three weeks after their debacle at Newcastle (1-4), the players from the Capital regained the lead of Group F in the Champions League by largely dominating AC Milan at the Parc des Princes. A clean and flawless defeat, which PSG owes in particular to its two nuggets Warren Zaire-Emery and Kylian Mbappé. Here are some instructive figures from this victory for the Reds and Blues.
1
First goal in PSG colors for Kang-in Lee. Receiving a nice back pass from Zaire-Emery, the Korean fired a sharp left-footed shot which left Mike Maignan no chance. Arriving at the club this summer, the former Mallorca player had not yet scored with Paris. However, he participated in the Asian Games with South Korea, missing a few meetings with PSG, which explains this anomaly.

Author of the second goal this Wednesday evening against AC Milan, Randal Kolo Muani planted the third rose of his career in the Champions League. The first two achievements took place last season, when the Frenchman played in Frankfurt. Marseille and Sporting Lisbon had been its victims.
4
Ultra-dominant in midfield, Warren Zaire-Emery was one of the strong men of this victory. The Parisian also delivered four key passes during this meeting, the highest total within his team. This performance notably resulted in two assists, one for Kylian Mbappé, the other for Kang-in Lee. A Dantesque match which earned him the best rating in our columns: 8.
42
By scoring his 42nd goal in the Champions League to open the scoring against the Milanese, Kylian Mbappé moved even closer to his former teammate Neymar in the C1 scorers rankings. He now only needs one goal to tie the Brazilian, in 18th place, and two to join Didier Drogba and Alessandro Del Piero. The top 10 is not very far away, with only eight small achievements.
96
Milan Skriniar was devilishly precise. Among the ten players who made at least 25 passes during the match, the Slovakian is the one with the highest success percentage (96%). Followed by Achraf Hakimi, Warren Zaire-Emery, Marquinhos and Vitinha. Defenders and midfielders, less pressured by their opponents than attackers, often reign supreme in this category.
113
Parisians and Milanese covered an equivalent distance on the pitch this Wednesday evening. As was often the case last year, PSG remains slightly below (112.8 km in total compared to 113.1 km for AC Milan). This is explained in particular by possession of the ball, clearly in favor of the Parisians (57%), who therefore made their opponents run more.
200
Paris Saint-Germain generally dominated this meeting. Calmly, the Capital club controlled the tempo and made the Milanese run. The passing statistics prove it. In total, the Parisians completed 465 passes, compared to only 265 for the Rossoneri. A huge gap which highlights the control of the Reds and Blues.
