Celtic 0-5 PSG: Neymar, Kylian Mbappe and Edinson Cavani see off Celtic in a classy display

3 months from now  segun   Sport News

Paris Saint-Germain produced a classy display to comfortably beat Celtic 5-0 in their opening Champions League Group B game on Tuesday night.

Goals from PSG's star-studded trio of Neymar (20), Kylian Mbappe (34) and Edinson Cavani (40 pen) helped PSG on their way to a convincing win at Celtic Park before a Mikael Lustig own goal (82) and Cavani's second (85) condemned Celtic to their heaviest home defeat in European competition.

Mbappe's near-post finish in the first half makes him the joint-top teenage goalscorer in the Champions League with seven goals, matching Patrick Kluivert.

Victory puts PSG equal on points with Bayern Munich at the top of the group, with Celtic's goal difference taking a significant blow to make for an uneasy start to their Champions League campaign.

Man of the match: Edinson Cavani

PSG began the first half on the front foot, as Cavani failed to stretch for Dani Alves' cross for a simple tap-in just six minutes in.

But last season's Ligue 1 runners-up did make their dominance count through Neymar, who got in behind the Celtic defence and picked up Adrien Rabiot's perfectly-weighted pass before smashing the ball into the roof of the net to put the Ligue 1 side ahead.
