Just over two weeks after conquering the Champions League, the triple team of Luis Enrique made light work by Atleti, which were brought back to 10 men, in their opening group B competition.
Fabian Ruiz gave PSG, who was without the wounded Ousmane Dembele, a lead in the 19th minute in the Rose Bowl with a drilled finish from the edge of the area.
Vitinha doubled their advantage on the peace of the break and responded to the pass of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia before he went further than Jan Oblak.
After he had staged both goals from PSG's first half, Kvaratskhelia almost came to the action almost after the restart, but Oblak tipped the wing player's strike on the crossbar.
Julian Alvarez thought he had dragged Athleti back into it when he offered home from a cute corner, only for the goal to be rejected after a VAR check for an error in the structure.
The second yellow card of Clement Lenglet dented the hope of Atleti further on a comeback, and after Alexander Sorloth was gaping, those opportunities were completely interrupted when Snany Mayulu hit PSG's third.
There was time for a cruel blow to Athleti deep in the standstill time, when Robin le Normand was assessed to have treated, with replacement Lee Kang-in stepping to record the punishment and add further shine to a resounding victory.
