Villarreal 0-6 PSG: Holders Score Four in 17 Minutes as Fabian Ruiz Double Keeps Luis Enrique's Side Perfect

Paris Saint-Germain produced the most emphatic result of Champions League Matchday 4 on Tuesday night, crushing Villarreal 6-0 in Spain. The back-to-back European champions scored four times in the first 17 minutes, with Fabian Ruiz going on to net twice, as Luis Enrique's side made it four wins from four in the league phase. The match kicked off at 4am on Wednesday, Malaysia time (MYT).

Four goals in eight minutes

PSG gave Villarreal no chance to settle. After Desire Doue tested Peter Gulacsi with a long-range effort early on, Joao Neves opened the scoring in the ninth minute, finishing into the top corner after a pass from Willian Pacho.

What followed was a blitz. Doue made it 2-0 in the 12th minute from Maghnes Akliouche's assist, and only a minute later Senny Mayulu hit a first-time strike from inside the box for 3-0. Ruiz added the fourth in the 17th minute, meaning PSG had scored four goals in the space of eight minutes.

Achraf Hakimi could have added more before half-time but was denied one-on-one, while Villarreal did not create a meaningful attack until around the 40th minute. Ayoze Perez forced a save from Matvey Safonov in first-half stoppage time.

Ruiz and Boly complete the rout

The second half brought two more goals. Ruiz grabbed his second in the 50th minute, and David Boly rounded off the scoring in the 78th minute, according to ESPN's match data.

The scale of the win was all the more striking because PSG were without several regulars. Pre-match reports listed Marquinhos, Ousmane Dembele, Nuno Mendes and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia among those unavailable, yet the depth of the squad was again on show.

This was the first meeting between the two clubs in UEFA competition. Before kick-off, PSG had already scored four or more goals in each of their previous three Champions League matches, including a 4-2 win over Barcelona on Matchday 3.

Where it leaves both clubs

PSG are now on 12 points from a possible 12, top of the 36-team table after Tuesday's games. Their goal difference has also taken a major boost, which could matter when the final league-phase standings are decided in January.

For Villarreal and coach Inigo Perez, it was a chastening night. They remain on three points from four matches, with one win and three defeats, and were 19th going into the game. The top eight in the league phase advance directly to the round of 16, while teams finishing 9th to 24th go into the knockout play-offs, so Villarreal still have four matches to stay in contention.
