- Ousmane Dembélé, back from a six‑week hamstring layoff, came on in the second half and scored three minutes later for the defending champions.
- PSG’s scoring was spread across six players, with Désiré Doué netting a brace and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Willian Pacho, Nuno Mendes and Vitinha also on target.
- An eventful first half featured five goals, two red cards and two penalties, including a straight red for Leverkusen captain Robert Andrich and a dismissal for PSG’s Illia Zabarnyi.
- Leverkusen’s Alejandro Grimaldo hit the post with one penalty before Aleix Garcia converted the next and later added a second for the hosts.
