Neymar and Lionel Messi on target as PSG thrash Nantes to win Trophee des Champions

Lionel Messi, who endured an underwhelming first season in French football, struck the opener on 22 minutes in the traditional curtain-raiser for French football, being played in Israel for the second year in a row.

Sergio Ramos added a third and Neymar bagged his second late on from the penalty spot as PSG, the reigning Ligue 1 champions, eased to victory over last season's French Cup winners in new manager Christophe Galtier's first match in charge.

"It was a good match. There was a trophy on the line so we wanted to win it," Neymar told Prime Video, drowning out rumours of his potential departure.

"If Kylian (Mbappe), Leo and myself are happy, PSG will do well," he added. "I hope this season all three of us will stay and it will go well."
