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.

Like all matches in the Champions League on Tuesday, a minute’s silence was held prior to kick-off in tribute to Jesus de Miguel, the Tenerife player who died following a collision in a Spanish second-division game on Monday. 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. 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. Spain World Cup star Ruiz rounded off the stunning opening salvo, and the same player finished in style for 5-0 early in the second half after latching onto a ball over the top.
