It was a comfortable win for the Parisians, achieved through goals from Jeremy Menez, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Ezequiel Lavezzi.

"All the games are difficult especially at the Parc des Princes where our opponents come to defend," midfielder Blaise Matuidi told BeIN Sport television.

"It is going to be a long season and that is why the coach let some players rest a little bit with Tuesday's big game in mind."
