Despite four absences, Paris Saint-Germain showcased the depth of their squad in the Champions League.

And the reigning European champions handled the situation without issues, taking a resounding 6-0 victory.

With the complicity of an atrocious defense, PSG went up 4-0 within 17 minutes of a lopsided duel at El Madrigal.

The goals that sank the Yellow Submarine—Villarreal's nickname—came in a burst of eight minutes.

The first was at the nine-minute mark, when Joao Neves pushed a loose ball into the net after missing the initial shot following a corner kick into the box.

Désiré Doué added the second at 12 minutes, Senny Mayulu scored a minute later, and Fabián Ruiz scored at 17 minutes. All three goals were created after Villarreal errors, whether trying to play out from the back or losing the ball in their own half.

The visitors increased the lead in the second half. Ruiz celebrated his second goal of the night at 50 minutes and David Boly set the final score at 78 minutes.

PSG, which began the fourth matchday of the league phase as the leader of the standings, did not have Ousmane Dembélé, Marquinhos, and Nuno Mendes due to muscle injuries. They are also without winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who will be out of action for a long time after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament tear.

That did not prevent PSG from heading toward its tenth consecutive victory in all competitions.
