The Saints brushed aside Montpellier 5-2 with combined effort from Neymar and Mbappe

They are one of the most entertaining shows in the world at the moment. And they're doing their best to make it very satisfying for the people paying money to see them in live action.

This time, PSG's dream team tarnished Montpellier 5-2 at home, although the visitors were much better than the final result suggests.

Galtier's super-expensive squad struggled to break the deadlock in the opening half an hour, with Mbappe even missing it from the spot. But then, Falaye Sacko made a terrible mistake, deflecting Mbappe's shot from an open play on the verge of the 40th minute into his own net for 1-0. The same player, Sacko, then made another unforgivable error - his handball in the box deservedly triggered the second penalty for the hosts, and this time Neymar was accurate from the spot.

From that moment on, only one team was there, dominating the game until the final whistle.

Messi didn't score this time but made some sensational moves and tricks that allowed his teammates to shine in front of packed Parc des Princes. They ended the game with five goals scored, the same as in the first round, which goes to show how mighty they truly are. This season, expect lots of fireworks and the work of art coming from the Saints' orchestra.
