Although the guests had to do without the injured Kylian Mbappé, he was replaced by other attacking stars. Neymar opened the score of the match in the ninth minute, after which he also prepared three more goals for his teammates.
Even in the first half, he scored a pass under the goals of Ashraf Hakimí and Marquinhos. In the 80th minute, he set up a goal for Messi, who made it 5-0 six minutes later with scissors.

Under the leadership of the new coach Christoph Galtier, the Parisian team showed a shooting performance even in the second game of the new season. He beat Nantes 4-0 in the French Super Cup a week ago.
