Lionel Messi scores acrobatic bicycle kick as PSG thrashes Clermont in season-opener

Lionel Messi scored a sensational bicycle kick to round off Paris Saint-Germain's 5-0 rout of Clermont in its first match of the new Ligue 1 season on Saturday.

The Argentine's goal was the pick of the bunch as he latched onto Leandro Paredes' pass before controlling it with his chest and acrobatically sending it over the goalkeeper.

It came just six minutes after Messi had scored his first of the match, sweeping his finish into the bottom corner when set-up by the brilliant Neymar.
