As a new dawn of football riches descends across the European scene, last night Paris Saint-Germain relished their opportunity to state their name as a real contender for the 2017/18 Champions League trophy.
Ruthless and unforgiving in their approach, a squad that doesn't just have strength in depth but a lethal combination of hunger and experience, PSG showed one of Europe's elite clubs the door. Bayern were the visitors and though Parc Des Princes is never an easy place for an away side, they were out muscled and out skilled in pretty much all angles across the pitch.
Naturally, eyes fall on the deadly top three of Cavani, Mbappe and Neymar though it's from corner to corner that this PSG side has been built to perform. Splashed cash maybe, but this is a side already performing as if they have never been apart.
Epic soundtrack, incredible scenes, fans painting the most powerful picture. Overall, a real catch for the Champions League as it lives up to its billing.
