PSG have won their opening three matches, scoring 11 and conceding just twice.

And £198m star man Neymar has instantly hit the ground running by following up his debut goal with another two in Sunday's victory over Toulouse.

They sit at the summit of the table on goal difference alongside current champions Monaco and Saint-Etienne.

And that's where they will stay for the duration of the long season, according to Aulas.

Taking to Twitter he wrote: "What a formidable match of Neymar and PSG, it's worrying for all the other teams in L1 (Ligue 1).

"Difficult to imagine a competition contested!"

Neymar was the star of the show in PSG's 6-2 thrashing of Toulouse.

Despite falling a goal behind, Neymar grabbed an equaliser and then PSG's sixth of the night with a sublime piece of skill and questionable defending.

But the Brazilian looked in confident mood and was full of tricks and flicks as he wowed the crowd on his home debut.

Lyon have also started the season brightly having won twice and drawn once in their opening fixtures.
