PSG beat Celje 41-30 on Wednesday evening in the Champions League. The visitors secured the win away from home in Slovenia. The result moves PSG further clear in second place while Celje remain winless.
By then the gap in the table had already been growing. PSG sit on five points from three matches, with two victories and one defeat. Celje have drawn all three of their games and hold zero points in fourth place.
And here's the thing about the scoreline. A 11-goal margin is not something you dismiss as a fluke. The visitors controlled the tempo and never let the hosts get any rhythm.
