IT'S ALL OVER!
Two fine first half goals from Kylian Mbappe get PSG off to the perfect start in the Champions League with a 2-1 win over Juventus in their Group H opener.
PSG's primary ambition to win the Champions League this season gets off to a flyer in their opening game as the club’s talisman ensured it would be a straightforward night for the hosts at the Parc des Princes.
MBAPPE FOULED
Mbappe goes down by the corner flag under a challenge from McKennie. That will surely be that...

BIG SAVE FROM PERIN!
Neymar fires a ferocious volley on goal from just a few yards out, forcing the Juve goalkeeper into a finger stinging save!

PSG CONTINUE TO PRESSURE
Juventus are camped inside their own half. Weston McKennie's 53rd minute header keeps the visitors within touching distance, though, for now. Just moments ago, Locatelli came on for Milik.

WIDE FROM MESSI!
Messi tried his typical move of running across the edge of the box and firing a low curling strike off his left foot. This time, though, his effort bounced just wide of Perin's right post.

M. Verratti
WIDE FROM MBAPPE!
It's stunning football from PSG's star-studded front three. Neymar backheels the ball to Messi who threads an inch-perfect pass through to Mbappe in the box. The Frenchman strikes off his left foot looking for the bottom corner, but he scuffs his strike slightly and it bobbles out for a goal-kick.
JUVENTUS LOOKING MORE COMFORTABLE
PSG are continuing to pile men forward but Juventus look a lot more confident following McKennie's goal. They seem to sense they can make something happen on the counter-attack via the flanks. PSG looking a bit more nervy now.
CRUCIAL SAVE FROM DONNARUMMA!
Cuadrado's cross finds Vlahovic at the near post who nods on goal, forcing Donnarumma into a diving save to his right. Juventus are putting PSG firmly to the test here.
