Paris Saint-Germain earned their second Champions League victory as they beat RB Salzburg 3-0 to ease the pressure on them.

Goncalo Ramos, Nuno Mendes and Desire Doue goals gave the Ligue 1 champions the much-needed victory in the Champions League.

The French side threatened through Lee Kang-in, Achraf Hakimi and Bradley Barcola, though Salzburg goalkeeper Alexander Schlager managed to keep them at bay initially.

Ramos then got things going in the first half to give the French giants the lead. The Portuguese forward received a pass from Achraf Hakimi, before finding the net with a fine finish.

Mendes and Doue added two in the second half to give Luis Enrique’s side a vital three points, which takes them into the final play-off spot.

Mendes smashed a left-footed shot home in the 72nd minute after being set up by Doue. Doue then got the third five minutes from time to add some gloss for the visitors.
