Luis Enrique's stars easily defeated their rivals from the port city 4-0 at home at the Parc des Princes.

Goal:

PSG:Hakimi (8'), Kolo Muani (37'), Ramos (47', 89')

PSG got off to a great start with the opening goal in the eighth minute when Achraf Hakimi curled a free-kick into the top corner from the edge of the box.

In the following minutes, the new player from Lyon, Bradley Barcola, repeatedly tormented the Marseille defense with his extremely skillful dribbling on the left wing.

However, the visitors also had a sharp chance to almost equalize in the 23rd minute, with Vitinha's header hitting the crossbar.

In the 37th minute, Hakimi's dangerous shot was blocked by goalkeeper Pau Lopez and right into the control of striker Randal Kolo Muani, creating conditions for the French striker to easily score his first goal for his new club. The score was 2-0 for PSG after the first half.

After the break, Marseille replaced Vitinha and Azzedine Ounahi with Ilian Ndiaye and Amine Harit, but those changes were ineffective as PSG continued to score a third goal in the 47th minute. This time, Goncalo Ramos headed home from Ousmane Dembele's pass.

PSG's impressive show at the Parc des Princes ended with another goal from Ramos in the 89th minute from a pass from Kolo Muani after a sharp counter-attack.

With a stunning win in the French derby, PSG climbed to third place in the standings with 11 points after 6 matches, 2 points behind the "phenomenon" Brest at the top of the table. Meanwhile, Marseille, who had a difficult week off due to conflicts with fans, ranked 7th with 9 points.

However, it was not an absolutely perfect night for the home team as their star striker Kylian Mbappe limped off with an ankle injury in the first half.
