A record-breaking start. A goal for a teenage debutant. Most importantly, another big win.
It was the perfect night for Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League.
The defending champion swept to a 6-0 rout of Villarreal on Tuesday to continue the 100% start to its bid for a third straight title.
It was pretty much all over after 17 minutes, with four goals sinking the Yellow Submarine -- nickname of the Spanish hosts -- in record time.
When Fabián Ruiz slammed home a shot for 4-0 after earlier strikes by João Neves, Désiré Doué and Senny Mayulu, it was the fastest any team had reached four goals in a Champions League game. Real Madrid previously held the record, taking 20 minutes to score four goals against Dinamo Zagreb in 2011.
"What stands out to me is the way we started of the match," PSG coach Luis Enrique said. "After a quick 0-4 down, no team can recover from that. It's hard for an opponent to wake up and make a comeback."
PSG's fourth goal also set the mark for the most goals by a team through four games of a Champions League season, with 18. After scoring six against Slovan Bratislava, and four each against Manchester City and Barcelona, PSG is also the first team in Champions League history to score four or more goals in four straight games in the competition.
Ruiz scored his second of the night in the 50th and PSG's biggest win of its title defense was capped by a 78th-minute goal from David Boly, a 17-year-old defender who had come on for his Champions League debut as a substitute four minutes earlier.
"I don't particularly like these blowout scores because we always respect our opponent and maintain the exact same approach," Luis Enrique added. "You can look back at that Champions League final against Inter. We never think about slowing the game down."
PSG is already looking a strong candidate for a third Champions League title but Luis Enrique insists it is too early to get carried away.
"I'm happy with the team's ambition and performance, but the real competition starts in February or March," he said. "It's in those knockout ties where you truly have to prove your level."
PSG had faced a test of its squad strength with four of its best players missing for the trip to Spain, but coped just fine.
Ousmane Dembélé, Marquinhos and Nuno Mendes were all missing because of thigh injuries, along with long-term absentee Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (ruptured ACL).
It didn't stop PSG easing to a 10th straight win in all competitions -- and a fourth in a row to open the Champions League -- though Villarreal contributed to its own downfall with dreadful defending.
The first three goals stemmed from mistakes by the home team as it played out from the back or got dispossessed in its own half.
