Neves opened the scoring from close range in the ninth minute, and PSG netted three more goals

Joao Neves, Desire Doue, Senny Mayulu and Fabian Ruiz all struck at the Estadio de la Ceramica as PSG set a record for the fastest team to score four times in a match in Europe’s elite club competition. 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.

Ruiz added another early in the second half and teenager David Boly completed a comprehensive demolition of the side that finished third in La Liga last season. “We were impressive throughout and we are really pleased even if it is very difficult for Villarreal — but it is hard when you play against a team like us that presses constantly. Neves opened the scoring from close range in the ninth minute, and PSG netted three more goals in under eight minutes following that.

They are the only team to have maximum points after four matches in this year’s Champions League — Liverpool, Real Madrid and Real Betis all have maximum points from three games before playing on Wednesday — and Luis Enrique’s prolific side have now scored 20 goals on that run. The 17-year-old full-back Boly came on for Achraf Hakimi and almost immediately got his team’s sixth goal — his first senior strike coming on his Champions League debut.
