Clermont Foot v Paris Saint-Germain live updates - latest Ligue 1 score in opening game as PSG lead by five!

Thanks for joining us this evening. Good night.

PSG well and truly demolish Clermont Foot as Les Parisiens move to the top of Ligue 1. No added time at the end of the game, as the referee calls a halt to proceedings as soon as the 90th minute arrives! Report to follow...

What a goal! Messi controls the ball with his chest in the area, before hitting an overhead kick into the back of the net! Unreal technique!

On: Baiye

Off: Gonalons

On: Khaoui

Off: Rashani

On: Zaire-Emery

Off: Verratti

It's Messi! The Argentine is now on the scoresheet!

PSG break forward with pace, as Messi leads the charge, before playing the ball to his left for Neymar. The Brazilian then plays the ball back to his team-mate inside the box, and Messi finishes well beyond Diaw.

Third assist of the night for Neymar! Unreal.

PSG make two more changes.

That is Nuno Mendes' last action of the night as he is replaced by Juan Bernat.

Pablo Sarabia is also replaced by summer signing Hugo Ekitike.

Diaw is called into action again, this time to deny Nuno Mendes!

The wing-back meets a Sarabia cross with his head at the back post, but the Clermont goalkeeper makes a brilliant reaction save to send it out for a corner.

Pascal Gastien now opts to make some changes to give his side some fresh legs.

Saracevic is replaced by Magnin, and Dossou comes on for Allevinah.

Messi should be doing better there!

Mendes cuts the ball back for the Argentine inside the box, but Messi's first-time powerful strike sails well over the bar and into the stand behind the goal.

Christophe Galtier opts to make some changes as the result is pretty much wrapped up.

Paredes comes on for Vitinha, and Ramos is replaced by Mukiele.

Gonalons is shown a yellow card for catching Vitinha late.

Sarabia finds some space out wide on the left, before sending in a cross towards Neymar at the back post.

He rises highest to meet it with his head to produce an effort on goal, but Diaw tips it away brilliantly.

However, the flag is up, as both Sarabia and Neymar were offside.

Neymar wins a free-kick in flamboyant fashion as he tries to draw Seidu in by executing a number of kick-ups, but he then goes down under pressure.

He takes the free-kick himself, but Kimpembe cannot turn the ball into the box towards goal and Diaw sets himself up for a goal kick.

Close from Clermont! Andric does really well to receive the ball with his back to goal on the edge of the box, before turning and hitting a powerful shot, but it just clears the crossbar. Better from the home side!

Luckily for Clermont, Messi hits his free-kick straight into the wall. The home side then clear.

A potentially dangerous situation for Clermont as Ogier fouls Messi just outside the box. Free-kick to PSG.

We are back underway here!
