A historic UEFA Champions League record, entwined with Celtic, Paris Saint-Germain, and the legendary Parc des Princes, was finally shattered last night—ending years of unmatched dominance!
PSG clashed with Atletico Madrid on matchday four of the Champions League league phase, with both giants trailing behind Celtic in the standings both before and after the thrilling encounter!
In a nail-biting finish, Atletico Madrid snatched a dramatic 2-1 victory over PSG with a last-minute strike from Angel Correa, overturning an early lead by the hosts!
PSG’s Warren Zaïre-Emery made history last night, becoming the youngest-ever scorer at the Parc des Princes in the Champions League at just 18 years and 243 days. Set up by Ousmane Dembele, Zaïre-Emery elegantly chipped Jan Oblak to open the scoring, surpassing Kylian Mbappé’s record set at 18 years and 337 days, when he scored against Celtic in November 2017.
That night saw Brendan Rodgers’ Celtic side endure a brutal 7-1 defeat as PSG ran rampant, cementing a painful chapter in their Champions League history.
Mbappe, Neymar, and the PSG squad were unstoppable that night, responding to Moussa Dembele’s early opener for Celtic with a devastating display that extinguished the Bhoys’ brief hope. Seeing someone even younger than Mbappe now reach such heights is impressive—though Celtic fans will be hoping Warren Zaïre-Emery doesn’t repeat Mbappe’s torment of their side in this season’s Champions League.
As the now-Real Madrid star showed back then, a young talent in top form can be Celtic’s worst nightmare.
