Youth League team lose to Girona
Paris Saint-Germain's youngsters were beaten in their European opener.
STARTING XI

THE MATCH
The PSG Campus was the stage for the young Parisians' opening European game with Spanish opponents the visitors. They soon went ahead through Arango's side foot finish (0-1, 11') prompting David Suarez's men to seek a riposte as they bossed possession.
The Red-and-Blues could not quite find that final pass, though Sangaré came close to levelling on the hour mark: his shot was cleared off the line (61') before Ly fired just wide from distance soon after (62').
The Parisians' hopes increased when Badia was dismissed for a poor challenge on Cordier (65'), and they continued to press forward, but were caught out at a set-piece when Girona captain Garcia headed home to secure the win for the visitors (0-2, 76').
NEXT GAME
The Youth League team will face Arsenal, just like the senior team, on 1 October.
