Paris Saint-Germain got their title defence off to the ideal start as they thrashed Clermont Foot 5-0 at Stade Gabriel-Monpied in the opening Ligue 1 matchday.

Neymar opened the scoring for PSG in Clermont before setting up Achraf Hakimi and Marquinhos for further goals before half-time. 

Neymar then provided a fourth for Messi, before the Argentine forward capped off an excellent performance with a stunning goal, chesting a pass from Leandro Paredes and providing a bicycle- kick finish.
