Super PSG

PSG, outside contenders for the title after spending more than 200 million euros ($261.11 million) on players since being taken over by Qatari investors a year ago, played superbly and were the biggest scorers on the night, thumping Kiev in Group A.

PSG striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who opened the scoring with a first-half penalty, became the first player to score in the Champions League for six different clubs having also netted for Ajax Amsterdam, Juventus, Inter Milan, Barcelona and AC Milan.

It was a dream start to the campaign for PSG with Thiago Silva netting on his debut, Alex making it 3-0 and Javier Pastore wrapping up the victory with a fourth in stoppage time.

PSG were never really threatened by the visitors who got a late consolation through Miguel Veloso.

Carlo Ancelotti's side next travel to Porto, who won 2-0 at Dinamo Zagreb with Lucho Gonzalez and Steven Defour scoring near the end of the first and second half respectively.

Malaga, playing in the competition for the first time, put their financial worries to one side with a 3-0 home win over Zenit St Petersburg in Group C with two goals from midfielder Isco and one from forward Javier Saviola.
