Dembélé, one of France's World Cup stars, netted twice in the first half, including a rebound after Nuno Mendes' shot hit the post. He then set up Torres for the Spanish forward's hat-trick, which took him onto five goals since joining from Barcelona in the offseason. Torres showed delightful skill for his second goal, taking a deft touch to control Maghnes Akliouche's pass before curling the ball in from the edge of the area.
PSG took advantage of weak opposition to muster 35 shots on goal and 13 on target. Slovan coach Yaya Touré praised Dembélé's performance, saying he was "at 200% and really hurt us today -- he is a superb player." Dembélé's return to form is a significant boost for PSG, who had failed to win their previous four games before this match.
The win marks a much-needed turnaround for PSG, who had struggled in their domestic season. Dembélé's comments suggest that the team is looking to build on this result and continue their Champions League campaign with momentum.
