The Brazilian opened the score after a few minutes and also did the preparatory work for the goals of Achraf Hakimi and Marquinhos before half-time. In the final phase, Lionel Messi scored the fourth goal on Neymar’s pass. The Argentinian then also scored with an overhead kick.
PSG captured the French Supercup last week by beating Nantes 4-0, thanks in part to two goals from Neymar. Kylian Mbappe was absent against Nantes due to a suspension and also did not participate against Clermont Foot due to an injury.
The team from Paris conquered the French title with force majeure last season. However, because the much desired success in the Champions League failed to materialize, coach Mauricio Pochettino had to leave. His successor Galtier, who worked at Nice last season, said goodbye to the Dutch Xavi Simons (to PSV) and Georginio Wijnaldum (on loan to AS Roma) this summer.
