Spanish media call PSG a tyrant after 6-0 win over Villarreal
Paris Saint-Germain defeated Villarreal 6-0 on Tuesday in the UEFA Champions League, leaving Spanish media describing the team as a ruthless tyrant. The double defending champion secured the win away at La Cerámica, following a 4-2 victory against FC Barcelona two weeks prior.
The result leaves Paris Saint-Germain at the top of the standings with a perfect 12 points and 20 goals scored. The outcome prompted strong reactions across sports media in Spain regarding the nature of the defeat.
A Rapid Collapse at La Cerámica
The match was effectively decided in the opening minutes. Paris Saint-Germain scored four goals in less than 17 minutes, establishing a 4-0 lead before the game settled. According to the sports daily As, a seismic event reduced La Cerámica to dust in just seven minutes and thirty-five seconds through an express sequence of goals from Luis Enrique’s side.
Local media outlets drew stark comparisons to describe the intensity of the performance. Radio broadcaster Cadena Cope characterized the start of the European campaign as a triumphal march. Meanwhile, The Country described the squad as a cold and precise executioner that toys with opponents and punishes the smallest errors.
Mark likened the encounter to a boxing match, writing that the dynamic mirrored Mike Tyson stepping out of the corner against a terrified opponent whose legs are shaking, landing blow after blow until the fight is over.
Paris Saint Germain Displays Total Supremacy Despite Absences
The outcome reflected warnings issued before kickoff. Sports World noted that Villarreal head coach Iñigo Pérez stated in his pre-match press conference that Paris Saint-Germain smells fear and shows no quarter, comments that proved entirely prophetic.
Analyst Daniel Riolo, speaking on RMC Sport’s After Foot, described the dynamic as a mental beating where the Parisian players consume the minds of their opponents. As summarised the sentiment by declaring that the French club operates as a tyrant and stands as the best team in Europe.
This supremacy persists despite notable absences. The squad achieved the victory while missing four key players: Ousmane Dembélé, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Marquinhos, and Nuno Mendes.
For Spanish clubs, the immediate threat in the European schedule has passed. With fixtures against AS Rome, Aston Villa, Como, and Galatasaray remaining in the second half of the league phase, no further Spanish opponents will face Paris Saint-Germain before the end of the winter.
