Neymar, Messi and Mbappe among the scorers as PSG hit Gamba Osaka for six - in pictures

Paris Saint-Germain's attacking trio Neymar, Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe were all on the scoresheet as the French champions trounced Gamba Osaka 6-2 in a pre-season friendly on Monday.

PSG were 4-1 ahead at half-time, with all the goals coming in an 11-minute frenzy that saw Pablo Sagrabia, Neymar, Nuno Mendes and Messi all on target. Keisuke Kurokawa found the net for Osaka to pull the score back to 2-1.

After the break, Neymar and substitute Mbappe scored for PSG, sandwiched by a goal from Osaka substitute Hiroto Yamami.

It meant PSG finished their tour of Japan with three wins out of three, coming hot on the heels of victories over Kawasaki Frontale and Urawa Reds.

It took Christophe Galtier's side nearly half an hour to opening the scoring when Neymar played a slide-rule pass through to Messi, who saw his shot saved by Gamba goalkeeper Masaaki Higashiguchi, only for the ball to fall nicely for Sarabia to score from the rebound.

Neymar himself made it 2-0 minutes later, albeit in dubious fashion. The Brazilian attacked down the left-hand side of Gamba's penalty area, cut the ball back away from the byline and then threw himself down dramatically to the floor after seemingly avoiding the challenge of defender Genta Miura.

He managed to pick himself up from the non-existent foul to score from the spot, firing home into the bottom left-hand corner after a staggered run up.

Gamba quickly pulled a goal back through Kurokawa, despite the best efforts of Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, only for left-back Mendes to restore the two-goal cushion after controlling a fine through ball from Vitinha before finishing confidently.
