Despite Kylian Mbappe’s absence, a late Lionel Messi double helped Paris Saint-Germain start their Ligue 1 championship defense in spectacular manner with a 5-0 thumping of Clermont Foot on Saturday. After goals from Neymar, Achraf Hakimi, and Marquinhos gave the champs a commanding early lead at Stade Gabriel-Montpied, the Argentinean netted two goals, including a magnificent bicycle kick.
Despite the injury to their star player Mbappe, it will be the style of their victory that delights fans the most. In the ninth minute, Neymar scored for PSG once more, scoring a low finish in response to Lionel Messi’s deft flick. Just over 25 minutes later, the Brazilian provided a perfect pass to the feet of Hakimi, who sent a shot past Mory Diaw to increase the visitors’ advantage. Later, Neymar sent a free kick from the left flank, and Marquinhos leapt to head it in.
But Argentina’s great Messi kept his best for the closing 10 minutes, converting a flat Neymar ball into his first goal and then unleashing an incredible overhead kick for his second to seal the three points in style.
