Paris Saint-Germain began their 2017/2018 league season, with a 2-0 victory over Amiens.
It was a difficult Ligue 1 debut for Amiens, who won promotion from Ligue 2 in the final seconds of last season, to reach the topflight for the first time.
PSG took the lead four minutes before the break, after Edinson Cavani converted Dani Alves’ cross.
However, the hosts did not double their lead until 10 minutes before the end of the game, when Marco Verratti set up Javier Pastore for an easy finish.
New signing Neymar stole the show without even playing.
The world-record signing was not registered in time to take part in the game, but received a hero’s welcome on a tour of the Parc des Princes pitch before kick-off.
