Neymar, PSG Beat AS Monaco 4-0; Angel Di Maria Scores a Brace

Paris Saint-Germain have their first piece of silverware of the 2018-19 season, as they hammered Monaco 4-0 in the Trophee des Champions at the Shenzhen Universiade Sports Centre in China.

After a tight start, it was Angel Di Maria who broke the deadlock with a moment of magic, bending a brilliant free-kick home in the 33rd minute of the game. Christopher Nkunku added a second before the break, continuing his impressive pre-season.

In the second half, Timothy Weah extended PSG's advantage and effectively wrapped up the match, while Neymar made his return to action as a late substitute.
