PSG

Lionel Messi, Neymar Jr. and Sergio Ramos were on target as Paris Saint-Germain beat FC Nantes 4-0 in to lift the Trophée des Champions in Israel.

Lafont denied Messi a second late on (88') and it ended 4-0. Evann Guessand (50') and Messi (53') exchanged chances before Ramos made it 3-0 inside the hour. PSG were without suspended superstar Kylian Mbappé for this meeting at Tel Aviv's Bloomfield Stadium, but Christophe Galtier packed enough talent into what looks to be becoming his preferred 3-4-1-2 formation.

Paris Saint-Germain beat 10-man Nantes 4-0 to claim their 15th Trophee des Champions and deliver an ominous warning to their domestic challengers.

Simply an absurd record for a legendary player not quite ready to head into the autumn of his career. Lionel Messi opened the scoring before Neymar added a second and Sergio Ramos added a third in the second half. The Argentinian weaves through the Nantes defence and looks to just slide his shot beyond Lafont but the French keeper gets down well to deny him. Messi had been at the heart of every PSG attack and on 22 minutes, Neymar drifted in off the left and looked for his ex-Barcelona team mate with a through ball. Nantes: 8 -- Nantes had eight shots against PSG, more than half of which came from inside the box. 57’ GOAL PSG Sergio Ramos makes it 3-0 with a back-heel finish from close range. Only once did a PSG attack break down for lack of numbers, that coming in the final minutes as debutant Nordi Mukiele surged forward on a solo run. The Brazilian spins and shoots just wide. Even at 4-0 up, PSG continued to attack with energy and numbers. When Mbappe returns, he will likely play the same role. Neymar then rounded off the scoring from the penalty spot late on. In the end, PSG had to settle for a 4-0 win, and a trophy to start the new season.
