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. Les Parisiens, fresh off the back of their convincing 4-0 Trophee des Champions victory over last season’s Coupe de France winners Nantes last weekend, took no prisoners against a side they scored ten goals against in two outings last season, as they found an early lead in the 9th minute. Ad/> Pablo Sarabia’s low cross from deep towards the edge of the area was deftly flicked on by Leo Messi back to the path of Neymar behind him, and the Brazilian found the bottom corner with a fantastic first-time strike to put his side ahead.
