PSG 6-2 Toulouse – Neymar shows his emotional connection to Barcelona remains strong during a tribute to terror attack victims in his former home city before scoring his first PSG goal in front of his new home fans.
An emotional night at the Parc des Princes saw the Ligue 1 giants and their visitors Toulouse line up for a minute’s silence in honour of the victims in Catalonia last week.
PSG went behind 1-0 to a strike from Toulouse’s Max Gradel, on loan from Bournemouth, in the 18th minute.
Neymar levelled just after the half-hour mark, tapping home a rebound from the keeper after a clever run from the Brazilian led to a shot from Adrien Rabiot.
He then provided the assist with a one-two for Rabiot as the Parisians took a 2-1 lead going into the break.
In the second half, Neymar was brought down in the box by Andy Delort to give Cavani a chance to blast home from the spot for 3-1.
This came moments after Marco Verratti was shown red for a second bookable tackle, but that didn’t stop the goals from flying in.
The visitors pegged one back through Christopher Jullien from a corner before Javier Pastore made it 4-2 courtesy of Angel Di Maria.
Layvin Kurzawa produced a spectacular fifth for PSG from pinpoint driven corner from Neymar.
The Brazilian started off the scoring so it seemed only fitting that he finish it off.
And he did it with equal parts of tenacity and skill, refusing to give up possession at the top of the penalty area and dancing his way to a brace.
