Lionel Messi had a remarkable performance in PSG's Ligue 1 debut against Clermont. The superstar shone with an extraordinary masterclass that allowed Paris Saint-Germain to begin the defense of their title with a 5-0 victory at the Stade Gabriel Montpied.

‘'La Pulga’ scored twice to along with goals from Neymar, Achraf Hakimi and Marquinhos, following another smooth win after last weekend's emphatic 4-0 Trophée des Champions victory over Nantes.

What was remarkable was that coach Christophe Galtier gave his players a few days' rest and the captain of the Argentine national team took the opportunity to travel to Barcelona. The striker arrived in Catalonia and was immediately approached by local journalists at the airport. But Messi signed autographs to a small group of supporters and withdrew quietly, ignoring the speculation of the reporters.

It took PSG just nine minutes to take the lead when the Argentine star shot a beautiful deep pass for Neymar to finish with a right-footed cross. Hakimi scored on 25 minutes after a lightning counterattack, before Marquinhos headed in an unmarked free kick from the Brazilian to make it 3-0.

Messi’s incredible goal

And at the end of the game, the Argentine star culminated the night with an excellent performance that was crowned with an impressive goal, in which, after cushioning the ball with his chest, he scored with a bicycle kick. Now Leo will rest for a couple of days in Spain and then he will focus on his next game, as PSG will play against Montpellier at the Parc des Princes next Saturday.
