Real Madrid vs. PSG: Score and Reaction from 2016 ICC

Paris Saint-Germain picked up a 3-1 win over Real Madrid in the 2016 International Champions Cup on Wednesday in Ohio Stadium in Columbus, Ohio. 

Jonathan Ikone opened the scoring, and Thomas Meunier provided two goals of his own to secure PSG’s second victory of the ICC.

The club didn’t have to wait long for the goal. Ikone weaved his way through the Madrid defense to put the French champions ahead 1-0 in the second minute. The 18-year-old’s run from midfield was impressive, but he also capitalized on some poor defending from Real Madrid and a couple of lucky bounces.

Marcelo in particular didn’t cover himself in glory on the goal. The Madrid left back’s attempted challenge failed horribly, which gave Ikone enough time to place his shot into the bottom left corner past Kiko Casilla.

But give Ikone credit for having the presence of mind to make the turn and then being confident enough to attack the defense. Bleacher Report’s French football expert Jonathan Johnson tweeted how the teenager is already building a reputation in Europe:

What a goal! Ikone demonstrating why other European sides were keen & why PSG were desperate for him to turn professional. #ParisLovesUS
