WATCH: Five players, including Neymar, sent off as Le Classique ends in melee

by

PSG's season has got off to a truly disastrous start.

From the heartbreak of the Champions League final defeat to quickly having six squad members test positive for Coronavirus, it hasn't been smooth sailing at all.

They fell to a shock 1-0 defeat to Lens on their return to domestic action earlier this month.

Tonight, they brought back Neymar and Angel Di Maria to the starting side for the clash with Marseille.

But it made little difference.

Florin Thauvin finished neatly from a Dmitri Payet cross to give the away side the lead.

It was one which they held on to, despite a massive brawl breaking out in injury time.

 

Layvin Kurzawa and Leo Paredes for PSG, and Jordan Amavi and Dario Benedetto for Marseille all saw red for the scrap.

Just before full time, Neymar received his marching orders as well - though he mouthed to the camera about potential racist language.

Alvaro Gonzalez seemed to be his target.

PSG have lost their opening two Ligue 1 games in a season for the first time since 1984-85.

It was all summed up quite neatly by one transfer account.
