PSG fell behind after just 56 seconds to Moussa Dembele’s shock goal for the Scottish side, but Emery’s star-studded outfit bounced back in magnificent style to race into a 4-1 half-time lead. Neymar scored the first two goals before Cavani’s 150th for the club and a fourth from Kylian Mbappe effectively ended the game as a contest. PSG eased up for most of the second half before late goals from Marco Verratti, Cavani and Dani Alves added a deserved gloss to the scoreline, which means that they have now scored more goals in a Champions League group stage than any other club in the competition’s history....
