From the outset Neymar's arrival was judged by some to be a transfer which would damage Ligue 1 rather than make it better, and Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas seems to be singing from that hymn sheet in these early stages.
Only three matches have been played in the season thus far but Neymar has already registered three goals and just as many assists in his opening two domestic appearances.
"What a match for Neymar and PSG but it is a concern for the rest of Ligue 1, it is difficult to imagine they will have much competition," Aulas wrote on Twitter after Sunday's PSG romp past Toulouse.
The game was characterised by the Brazilian's individual brilliance with it a throwback to his time with Santos, he truly played without any responsibility or tactical shackles.
We saw goals, assists and even a rainbow flick with the Parisians looking clear favourites for the title despite Monaco's fine start.
