Paris Saint-Germain dominated Stade Brestois with a 3-0 win in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League knockout play-off on Tuesday night at Stade de Roudourou, with Ousmane Dembélé bagging a brace.

Barring a stunning comeback from Brest, PSG are on track to meet either Barcelona or Liverpool in the Round of 16. Moreover, this performance spotlights the form that Luis Enrique and his team have played in their last couple of matches in the competition.

In their last four matches, the Parisians have outscored their opponents 14-3 and have wins over RB Salzburg, Manchester City, VfB Stuttgart, and now Brest. There are several factors as why PSG have performed well and one of them is the young talent elevating their game.
