Some home supporters departed the ground before the clock had even reached 20 minutes as a rampant PSG netted four times within the opening 17 minutes.

All four of those goals came as a result of sloppiness at the back from the Spanish club, which was punished by an attacking line who have already put four past Barcelona and Manchester City in Europe this season.

Joao Neves delivered the first when he drilled in from close range after Villarreal failed to deal with a corner.

The second came quickly as PSG latched on to a calamitous pass out from the back by goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi and worked the ball to Desire Doue, who fired home.

Just a minute later Villarreal were caught out once again as they had possession snatched from them when playing out from the back and Senny Mayulu drove an effort past Gulacsi.

Next, it was the turn of Fabian Ruiz to get on the scoresheet as PSG worked the ball back to the Spain midfielder in the box, who drilled inside the near post.

Ruiz made it five after the break when he produced a deft touch to leave his marker on the ground before tucking the ball past Gulacsi.

Victory was rounded off by 17-year-old David Boly, who surged up the flank and sent an effort in off the leg of a Villarreal defender.

PSG are top of the league phase standings on a perfect 12 points and host Roma in their next match on 25 November (20:00 GMT). Villarreal have won just one game and travel to Slavia Prague on the same day for their next fixture (17:45 GMT).
