Kylian Mbappe scored a brace to help PSG defeat Juventus 2-1 at the Parc Des Princes on Matchday 1 of the UEFA Champions League.

The French striker put the host in front as early as the fourth minute with a right-footed strike from the left-side side of the box.

He would later double the lead for the Les Parisiens in the 21st minute as he struck home from inside the box.

PSG had chances to have made it three with Messi and Neymar unfruitful with their attempts at goal.

In Spain, Erling Haaland continued his goal scoring streak for Man City as he took off their UCL campaign in graceful fashion against Sevilla.
