Paris Saint Germain 4-0 Atalanta: Post-match review, Stats, Key moments

Dive into Bwin’s post-match review of Paris Saint Germain 4-0 Atalanta in the Champions League on Wednesday, 17 September 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.

Paris Saint Germain delivered a commanding performance, securing a 4-0 victory over Atalanta at home. The match saw PSG extend their winning form, with Marcos Aoás Corrêa opening the scoreline early at the 3rd minute, setting the tone for the game. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Nuno Mendes added to the tally, while Goncalo Matias Ramos sealed the win in injury time. This result was not surprising given PSG's recent form and dominance in possession, but the margin of victory was emphatic, ending Atalanta's hopes of a comeback.

Atalanta struggled to find their footing throughout the match, unable to capitalise on their limited possession. The early goal by PSG disrupted their game plan, and despite a yellow card to Yunus Musah, they failed to mount a significant challenge. The loss marks a disappointing start for Atalanta in the competition, highlighting the need for a strategic rethink. PSG's clinical finishing and control of the game underlined their status as strong contenders in the tournament.

The statistics from the match reflect PSG's dominance, with 67% ball possession compared to Atalanta's 33%. PSG's control was further evidenced by their six corners to Atalanta's one, showcasing their ability to create scoring opportunities. The successful dribbles percentage was slightly higher for PSG at 63% against Atalanta's 57%, indicating their superior ball control. The clean sheet, coupled with three assists and a penalty, underscores PSG's comprehensive performance and aligns perfectly with the final scoreline.

PSG lined up in a 4-3-3 formation, with Lucas Chevalier in goal and a backline of Achraf Hakimi, Marquinhos, Willian Pacho, and Nuno Mendes. The midfield trio of João Neves, Vitinha, and Fabián Ruiz provided stability and creativity, while Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Senny Mayulu, and Bradley Barcola led the attack. The early substitutions of Warren Zaire Emery and Kang-In Lee in the 55th minute, followed by Goncalo Matias Ramos in the 58th, injected fresh energy and contributed to the final goal. Marquinhos' performance was particularly notable, as he scored and played a pivotal role in defence.

Atalanta opted for a 3-4-1-2 formation, with Marco Carnesecchi in goal and a back three of Odilon Kossounou, Isak Hien, and Berat Djimsiti. The midfield was anchored by Marten de Roon and Yunus Musah, with Raoul Bellanova and Lorenzo Bernasconi on the flanks. Mario Pasalić played just behind the forwards Charles De Ketelaere and Daniel Maldini. The substitutions of Nikola Krstović and Lazar Samardžić at halftime, followed by Marco Brescianini and Giorgio Scalvini in the 75th minute, did not yield the desired impact. Yunus Musah's yellow card was the only notable contribution from Atalanta's lineup.

Marquinhos is Bwin’s Man of the Match, with his performance epitomizing PSG's dominance. Scoring a crucial goal in the 3rd minute, he set the tone for the match. Additionally, his creation of one big chance and one key pass highlight his influence on both ends of the pitch. Marquinhos' leadership and defensive solidity were instrumental in PSG's clean sheet and comprehensive victory.
