Brazilian striker Neymar scored as Paris Saint-Germain swept past five-time title winners Bayern Munich in Champions League Group B action on Wednesday.

Both sides were triumphant in their opening games, but the Parisians would be on another level compared to their German opponents on this night, helping them shoot to the top of Group B.

Neymar returned to the home side's line-up after missing a Ligue Un match last weekend, and he was quickly making a marauding run, dancing past defenders, and spotting compatriot Dani Alves, who fired it past Sven Ulreich.

Munich, looked to equalize in the 19th minute off a corner, which was cleared. But the ball landed near Javi Martinez, who fired a fierce half-volley, forcing Alphonse Areola to tip it over the bar.

The hosts would be dangerous on the break, and Kylian Mbappe's speed caused problems, in the 31st. The former Monaco man broke into the area, turned, and found Edinson Cavani who curled it into the top corner.

Later in the second half, Mbappe showed off his skills, turned the defender, and put it into the area, which was blocked, but Neymar was able to whack it home to make it 3-0. The Frenchman snaked his way through the Bayern defense, and the Brazilian was in the right place to tuck it in.
