Clermont – Paris Saint-Germain 0-5
The reigning series champion did almost all the work in the first half of the series opener against Clermont.
Neymar has shown scintillating form in the run-up to the season, and has fully stepped up his performances. The Brazilian did not give up until he had both scored one and added two goals after 45 minutes.
– He has been in a league of his own here now, Neymar. It is clear to see that he is in brilliant shape, almost the best I have seen of him, commented Nettavisen and Direktesport commentator Robin Haugen.
The evening was completed when Lionel Messi also ended up on the scoring list with two goals.
– It’s a playroom from the two superstars. The Argentine almost has to laugh at it himself. It’s a perfect night for PSG.

The superstar also delivered a score out of the ordinary, when he was played through, threw himself backwards and kicked the ball in to make it 5-0 for the visitors.
– A brass kick. His first in his career. It is simply beautiful.
Here you can see the highlights from the match:
God start
It was a PSG in playing mood from the start that faced Elbasan Rashani and Clermont, giving the hosts a tough start to the season.
Kylian Mbappé had to retire with an injury before Saturday’s game, but it didn’t seem like the team missed the superstar significantly.
The 1-0 score came when their two other stars, Neymar and Lionel Messi, found each other. A bit lucky from the latter, but Neymar was in cash when he intercepted a poor touch from Messi and knocked in the lead.

Right-back Achraf Hakimi would also be in on the game, as he came on a heavy offensive run. That was perceived by Neymar, who rolled through the Moroccan. The 23-year-old was relentless alone with the goalkeeper:
– That finish there is worthy of a striker, Achraf Hakimi, came from Haugen when the replay rolled over the screen.
– Enjoys football
Both Neymar and Messi were grinning before just before the 3-0 scoring, when the star duo were grinning at a set piece. Clearly satisfied with the state of affairs.
– You can see that things are flowing at the moment, both for Neymar and Messi. It is clear that they enjoy football at the moment.
Seconds later, Neymar served a perfect set-piece on the forehead of captain Marquinhos, who headed in 3-0.
