PSG 3 Bayern Munich 0: Kylian Mbappe, Edinson Cavani and Neymar star in Champions League heavyweight battle

Paris Saint-Germain proved too strong for Bayern Munich with a 3-0 Champions League victory at the Parc des Princes.

PSG headed into the game under a cloud after Edinson Cavani and Neymar had clashed over a penalty last weekend, but the French giants showed no signs of dressing-room discord as Dani Alves gave them an early lead.

Neymar bamboozled Bayern's defence moments after kick-off with a mazy run in from the left flank, and teed up Brazilian compatriot Alves to thrash home the opener after just 84 seconds.

Carlo Ancelotti's Bayern - who have endured a tough start this season - were unable to deal with Kylian Mbappe's pace either, and the French star was on hand to help PSG add their second.

Mbappe dribbled into the Bayern box and laid the ball off to Cavani, who found the back of the net with a rising finish that Bayern goalkeeper Sven Ulreich - in for the injured Manuel Neuer - could perhaps have done better to keep out.

Mbappe was again the instigator for PSG's third goal as he rolled David Alaba with a sensational turn before his cross-shot deflected into Neymar's path for a simple finish just past the hour mark.
