This was the 2nd loss in their three pre-season matches played and their 4th defeat in the last 5 matches.
Clermont need to turn things around early on before they slide away under pressure. Hence, Foot needs to use all their strength to challenge PSG.
On the other hand, PSG beat Nantes 4-0 in their previous French Super Cup clash to ensure a positive start to the season and pick up the 1st trophy.
Messi got the ball rolling with an early strike before Neymar scored on either side of Ramos’ effort to complete the domination.
PSG is on a seven-match winning streak since Mid-May and the defending champions are looking to start on a positive note once again as they head for another title.
