Neymar bags hat trick, Marco Verratti impresses as PSG whitewash Red Star

Paris Saint-Germain responded to their 3-2 loss away at Liverpool in their opening Champions League Group C match with a Neymar-inspired 6-1 slaughtering of Red Star Belgrade at Parc des Princes on Wednesday.

Thomas Tuchel's men made light of the unusual atmosphere inside the stadium because of the closure of the Auteuil end -- home of PSG's ultras -- and a designated section for away supporters through a Neymar hat trick and further goals from Edinson Cavani, Angel Di Maria and Kylian Mbappe.

Marko Marin netted for the Serbs, but it was the scantest of consolation goals as the French champions belatedly got their continental quest underway in the French capital.
