Paris Saint Germain picked up where they left off following last season’s triumph as they kicked off their new Champions League campaign with an impressive 4-0 win over Atalanta at the 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 the high pressing and fluid play that have become hallmarks of their game.
