PSG got their first Champions League campaign as reigning European champions off to a flying start with a 4-0 win over Atalanta in Paris.
Captain Marquinhos tapped into an empty net in the third minute, before Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who was an injury doubt in the build-up, crashed home a fine second for Luis Enrique’s men six minutes before halftime.
It could have been even better for the hosts at the Parc des Princes if not for Bradley Barcola’s tame 44th-minute penalty which was comfortably held by Atalanta goalkeeper Marco Carnesecchi.
Atalanta never looked likely to stage a comeback, though, and Nuno Mendes added a third not long after the restart.
Substitute Goncalo Ramos rounded off an excellent night for PSG with a dinked finish in stoppage time.
“It was perfect, but obviously the most important thing was the team winning. We played a great game,” Kvaratskhelia told uefa.com.
