Neymar and Kylian Mbappe before defeating sixth-tier Linas-Montlhery 6-0 in the French Cup on Sunday as the amateur side were left to rue a missed penalty when trailing just 1-0.
The part-timers, whose budget is 2 000-times smaller than the Qatari-backed Parisian giants, trailed to a goal on the half-hour by teenager Adil Aouchiche.
However, they were then awarded a penalty after Colin Dagba brought down Issa Cisse.
Up stepped Idrissa Kanoute but his tame spot kick was well-saved by Sergio Rico in the PSG goal.
Less than a minute later, Uruguayan star Edinson Cavani, named captain for the match, tucked away PSG's second and the game was up.
Cavani, starting a game for the first time in two months, added his second just on the hour mark before Pablo Sarabia (63rd and 70th minutes) and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting (87th) completed the rout.
“We played seriously and with humility,” said PSG coach Thomas Tuchel.
“We deserved to win, it was a good match for the team and the club and a good start to 2020.”
Tuchel was also full of praise for Cavani who has been linked with a winter transfer window move to Atletico Madrid in Spain.
“‘Edi’ is there to score, that’s what we ask him to do. This will give him confidence, that’s the best thing.”
