Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) have set a new Champions League record as the fastest team to score four goals in a single match.
Luis Enrique’s side took just 16 minutes and two seconds to go 4-0 up in their 6-0 demolition of Villarreal at Estadio de la Ceramica on Tuesday night.
Joao Neves opened the scoring in the ninth minute after a corner then just three minutes later Desire Doue punished a mistake from keeper Peter Gulacsi to make it 2-0.
In the 13th minute Senny Mayulu* made it 3-0 before Fabian Ruiz sealed the record on 17 minutes.
According to Opta, that shattered the previous record held by Real Madrid, who scored four in 20 minutes against Dinamo Zagreb in November 2011.

PSG became the first team to score three away goals in the first 13 minutes of a Champions League game.
They now have 20 goals in four games this season – averaging five goals per game and the best scoring start ever in the Champions League era (previous best was 17 goals in 2017/18).
They equalled Lyon’s French record of 14 Champions League games unbeaten (2004-2006), and
they are the only team with a perfect 12 points from four games and are top of the league phase as they chase a third straight Champions League title.
