End of match

  • 90'
    The referee puts an end to the trouncing. It's all over at the Parc des Princes. PSG thrash Metz with an efficient 5-0 win, but it could easily have been eight or nine...
  • 88'
    Areola pounces on the ball to all but ensure his clean sheet. Nice to see the PSG keeper hasn't fallen asleep.

    Niane comes on for Milicevic for the away side.

Goaaaaaal!
de PSG en el 82'
  • 82'
    GOAL! PSG! SILVA! The curse of the commentator strikes. The captain ghosts unmarked through the crowded penalty area to nod in from a corner. 5-0.
  • 81'
    Metz have been defensively sound this half. It's just a shame for the travelling fans that they had to concede four before organising themselves.
  • 75'
    Kawashima is determined not to let anymore get past him! He parries away a thunderous Rabiot long range effort.
  • 74'
    Kimpembe rises highest from the corner but his header goes wide of the target.
  • 70'
    After impressing on his debut last weekend, Timothy Weah has earned himself a second game. He bizarrely has no name printed across his shoulders.
  • 70'
    Double change for the home side. Rabiot and Weah come on for Draxler and Di Maria.
  • 69'
    Mbappe floats a delightful ball in to Di Maria with the outside of his boot but it doesn't come down quick enough for the Argentine to get his shot away.
  • 65'
    Mbappe fires the ball at the keeper! He's going to have to be more precise than that if he wants to add to his tally today.

  • 64'
    Changes in both camps. Lo Celso replaces Verratti. Riviere replaces Diagne.
  • 59'
    Off the line! Meunier drives past four Metz men and squares the ball to Nkunku. The Frenchman bundles the ball goalwards but Kawashima's catlike reflexes claw the ball off the line.
  • 57'
    Metz are struggling to string more than three passes together. There's a real gulf in class out here.
  • 55'
    Dossevi beats Berchiche for pace but chops the ball back into trouble. He tumbles to the floor. No foul says the ref.
  • 51'
    How did he miss?! Mbappe gets a free shot on goal but he places it the wrong side off the post!
  • 50'
    Neither side appear to have woken up from the break.
  • 46'
    Metz get us underway for the second half! They're getting used to these kick-offs now, that's their fifth one this game.
  • 45'
    Metz will be glad to hear the referee's whistle blow for half-time. They've suffered against a clinical PSG side. It's been a bad day at the office and they'll be hoping it doesn't get worse.
Goal
Goaaaaaal!
de PSG en el 45'
  • 45'
    GOAL! PSG! Mbappe gets in on the action! With the last kick of the half the Frenchman slots the ball into the Metz net. 4-0!
  • 45'
    Nkunku thought he had his hat-trick after his header bounced up into the top left corner. Flag's up though - he'll have to wait.
  • 42'
    Kawashima saves! Mbappe's effort rebounds off the knees of the Metz keeper.
  • 40'
    Di Maria whips it goalwards but he can't get it down in time. The ball sails over.
  • 40'
    Mbappe theatrically earns his side a free-kick.
  • 35'
    Kawashima is NOT happy with his teammates. Lackadaisical defending has forced him to pick the ball out of his net on three occasions. And it's not even half-time...
  • 33'
    Verratti clips a ball over the Metz back four for Mbappe to chase but his outstretched leg lifts it onto the roof of the net.
  • 29'
    GOAL! PSG! NKUNKU AGAIN! He ghosts past his marker and fires past Kawashima from the dee! A flash of brilliance from PSG's 20-year-old who is now on for a first half hat-trick.
  • 27'
    Berchiche fizzes a low ball across the face of the goal! Nkunku chucked his head at it but couldn't make contact.
  • 24'
    Cultured link-up play from PSG's attacking trident but it's too high for Mbappe. Neymar who?
  • 21'
    GOAL! PSG! NKUNKU! Verratti slips Nkunku through on the left and he sweeps the ball into the far corner. Quality finish from the youngster. 2-0.
  • 15'
    Mbappe's behind the defence but he's offside. The Frenchman throws a scornful scowl at the linesman on the far side.
  • 13'
    PSG need to be careful. They've been pickpocketed a few times and would've lost their lead had Metz been more clinical.
  • 11'
    Metz hit the bar! Dossevi waltzes into the box but his shot deflects off Kimpembe's shin and onto the bar!
  • 8'
    Metz are pressing PSG courageously high up the pitch. Nothing to lose now.
Goal
Goaaaaaal!
de PSG en el 5'
  • 5'
    GOAL! PSG! MEUNIER! Exactly what Metz feared the most, an early PSG goal. Mbappe's effort deflects kindly to the Belgian who picks his spot and produces a cool finish across Kawashima. We may well have just witnessed the opening of the floodgates...

    We're underway at the Parc des Princes!
