With a show of goals from Neymar and Messi, PSG beat Clermont 5-0 on the opening date of Ligue 1 2022-2023.
Lionel Messi, with a brace and a spectacular goal with his back to the plan, and Neymar, with a goal and three assists, were the absolute stars of Paris Saint-Germain in the 5-0 win at Clermont on the first day of French Ligue 1.
The two South American stars shone brightly in the absence of Kylian Mbapp due to injury.
Messi sealed the win, intending to remember, controlling a long pass from his Argentine compatriot Leandro Paredes with his chest and finishing with his back to the goal.
Neymar then gave the decisive pass so that his Moroccan teammate Achraf Hakimi (26) beat the local goalkeeper directly to the top corner with a powerful shot in the area. By hanging a ball, Sergio Ramos narrowly missed. Still, Brazilian Marquinhos (38) also headed straight into the goalkeeper Mory Diaw's net.
With 3-0 at half-time, the second half was very quiet for PSG, who sealed the win with Messi's brace in the final minutes, which put a smile on the Argentine's face at the start of his second season at the french team.
