The victory and the title for PSG.
With goals from Leo Messi (22nd), Neymar (45+5, 88th), Sergio Ramos (57th), the reigning French champions crushed FC Nantes on Sunday (4-0), in Tel Aviv, and made their mark low on the Champions Trophy.
The first title of the season for the Parisians, the first also for Christophe Galtier in his new role.
Galtier who also found the Canaries, his executioners in the final of the Coupe de France 2022 with Nice.

Beaten by Lille last season, already in Tel Aviv, Paris-SG won this title for the eleventh time.
It's a record.
The only false note of the evening?
Like last year, Achraf Hakimi was widely whistled by the public for his displayed support for the Palestinian cause...
It started strong for this PSG deprived of Kylian Mbappé, suspended, but who enjoyed collectively with a collective movement of great class, Messi as a detonator, forcing Lafont to a first big parade in front of Hakimi (5th).
Which Lafont was very happy to see the recovery of Sarabia go over (8th) and the bar push back the head of Marquinhos (14th).
The Canaries on the ropes.
They were not long in putting their nose to the window (18th, 19th).
The moment Messi chose, perfectly launched by Neymar, to eliminate Lafont and open the scoring (1-0, 22nd).
As ruthless as it is classy.
After the cool break, Paris resumed its march forward (30th, 32nd), despite the percussions of Blas (41st).
Lafont still had to achieve a feat in front of Messi (44th), but he could do nothing on the perfect free kick from “Ney” (2-0,
45+5).
A little gem.
Without Lafont, it would have been even worse...
2-0, the score at the break in favor of a PSG which continued to dominate the debates on the resumption.
And that was not long in adding to the bill thanks to a tasty heel from Ramos (3-0, 57th).
The tactical change made by Antoine Kombouaré did not change much in the matter.
Especially since Casteletto committed the irreparable against Neymar in the box: red card, penalty.
The Brazilian was doing justice to himself (4-0, 82nd).
The mass was said and the score did not move (4-0 final score), thanks to a new stop signed Lafont in front of Messi (88th).
Without the solid 23-year-old doorman, the note would have been much, much, much saltier for FC Nantes…
And now ?
PSG will begin the defense of their L1 title on the Clermont pitch next Saturday (9 p.m.), during the first day of the French championship.
FC Nantes will start their campaign with a short trip to Angers the next day (3 p.m.).
