VILLARREAL: Reigning champions Paris Saint-Germain scored four times in the first 17 minutes on their way to a 6-0 demolition of Villarreal in Spain in the Champions League on Tuesday, as the French side shrugged off injuries to key players to maintain their perfect record in the competition this season.
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) inflicted a crushing 6-0 defeat on Villarreal in the Champions League, scoring four times in the opening 17 minutes. The French champions, who are currently unbeaten in the competition this season, overpowered the Spanish side at the Estadio de la Ceramica. Joao Neves, Desire Doue, Senny Mayulu, and Fabian Ruiz all found the back of the net in the quick-fire first half, setting a record for the fastest team to score four times in a match in European club competition.
Ruiz added another goal early in the second half, with teenager David Boly completing a comprehensive victory by scoring the sixth goal, his first senior strike in the Champions League. Despite losing key players Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and several others, PSG maintained their perfect record in the competition. The win extended their winning streak to 10 in all competitions, including four in the Champions League.
Villarreal, who finished third in La Liga last season, now have the worst home defeat in Champions League history against a top European side.
