PSG matches OL's unbeaten record at Villarreal
Under a real deluge at the Stade de la Céramique, Paris Saint‑Germain launched a lightning‑fast offensive. The Parisians beat Villarreal 6‑0, giving three points to Luis Enrique's team, the sole leader of the group thanks to its invincibility while waiting for Wednesday's matches.
This dazzling victory on Spanish soil allowed the capital club to reach a historic milestone. By winning at the Stade de la Céramique, PSG matched the two‑decade unbeaten record previously held exclusively by Olympique Lyonnais.
The Lyonnais two‑decade record
Between December 2004 and March 2006, Olympique Lyonnais, led by Paul Le Guen, strung together fourteen Champions League matches without defeat. This legendary run included triumphs over Werder Bremen and Real Madrid (3‑0), before being halted by AC Milan.
Twenty years later, Paris Saint‑Germain reproduced this feat. Since January 28, the date of the 1‑1 draw with Newcastle, the Parisian momentum now stretches over fourteen unbeaten matches. While the Lyon generation stopped in the quarter‑finals against PSV without lifting the trophy, Luis Enrique's side turned that consistency into a triumph against Arsenal, then into demonstrations against Manchester City, FC Barcelona and now Villarreal.

Strengthened records
The match turned sublime from the start, with PSG scoring four goals in sixteen minutes and two seconds. While the 1958 Stade de Reims had netted four goals in twenty minutes against the Ards, Paris did more, faster, away and against a club with a more established pedigree.
The performances of Joao Neves, Désiré Doué, Senny Mayulu and Fabian Ruiz delivered the fastest sequence of four goals in Champions League history, achieved in eight minutes. Deprived of Ousmane Dembélé and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, the Parisian collective showed terrifying efficiency. By sealing the score at 6‑0, PSG became the very first team in Champions League history to score six goals away on a Spanish club's ground.
