However, there was a slight incident in the build-up to their third goal when Neymar picked up the ball to play the resulting penalty.
While Neymar was about to position his spot-kick, he was approached by the Frenchman and after a hasty exchange between the pair, the Frenchman walked away.
Neymar ended up scoring the resulting penalty bagging a brace and putting PSG 3-0.

His words transcribed in L’Équipe, the PSG manager sought to play down the issue and stated that the matter had been dealt with internally after the match against Montpellier.
“There was no tension [malaise], it was a secondary issue. We obviously saw each other the next day to set things straight. We had a very pleasant week to prepare for the match against Lille. I enjoyed each one of the sessions of the week, during which this secondary issue disappeared.”
“Nothing happened on the second penalty. There was an exchange. It was very short. From the moment where Ney felt like he could take it, Kylian left it to him.”
PSG return to action on Sunday night, August 21, 2022 against league rivals Lille.
