Paris Saint-Germain picked up where it left off following last season’s Champions League triumph as it kicked off the new campaign with an impressive 4-0 win over Atalanta at Parc des Princes on Wednesday.
Marquinhos opened the scoring inside the first three minutes, and PSG followed that up with goals from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Nuno Mendes and substitute Goncalo Ramos, demonstrating their hallmark high press and fluidity.
Bradley Barcola missed a penalty just before halftime, but it proved to be a footnote as Luis Enrique’s side underlined its status as defending champion after overpowering Inter Milan 5-0 in last season’s final.
