Clermont Foot vs PSG Highlights: Ligue 1 2022-23, CLE 0-5 PSG – PSG come away with all three points after a convincing display, beating Clermont Foot 5-0. The hosts failed to muster a shot on target and trouble Donnarumma at all.

Achraf Hakimi doubled his side’s lead with a superb finish from a tight angle after an excellent team move from PSG.
The third came from a set-piece PSG when Neymar whipped a delivery into the box, for Marquinhos to time his run really well to lose his marker and head home.

Clermont had a chance of their own soon after half-time when Komnen Andrić received the ball on the edge of the box before doing well to turn and fire a powerful shot just over the bar.
Lionel Messi made it 4-0 after a lovely one-two with Neymar, which saw the Argentine finish beyond the goalkeeper Mory Diaw.
