Paris: Edinson Cavani and Neymar both scored as Paris Saint-Germain claimed a convincing 3-0 victory over a disappointing Bayern Munich in their heavyweight Champions League clash in the French capital on Wednesday.
PSG got off to a dream start as their other Brazilian summer signing Dani Alves gave them the lead inside 90 seconds at the Parc des Princes and they never looked back.
Cavani s sweeping first-time strike just after the half-hour mark made it 2-0 before Neymar completed the scoring in the second half as Bayern went down to their heaviest defeat since losing to Barcelona by the same score in the semi-finals of this competition in May 2015.
The result leaves the French club top of Group B with the maximum six points from two games, eight goals scored and none conceded.
They are on course to win the section — Bayern are level on three points with Celtic, who won at Anderlecht.
For PSG this was a chance to measure themselves against one of the continent s traditional powers in their biggest European match since their humiliating exit in Barcelona last season.
In that regard the evening was a resounding success for Unai Emery s team, although the German club was some way short of their usual standards.
“The main thing is the three points, but it s also important for me that the fans enjoy the match and seeing us win against a top-level side,” said Emery.
