Lionel Messi scored twice – including an acrobatic over-head kick – as Paris St Germain opened their Ligue 1 campaign with a commanding 5-0 win at Clermont.
Neymar put PSG ahead after just nine minutes before then setting up Achraf Hakimi to slot home a second. Marquinhos nodded in a Neymar free-kick to make it 3-0 before half-time.
With 10 minutes left, Neymar crafted PSG’s fourth goal when he played in Messi.
The Argentina maestro capped a fine team performance when he ran on to a pass from Leandro Paredes into the Clermont area, collected the ball on his chest and flicked it up to score with a perfectly-executed bicycle kick.
Earlier, Monaco were 2-1 winners at Strasbourg with goals either side of the break from Krepin Diatta, firing in a long-range volley, and Sofiane Diop.
