What Spaniard Emery, who arrived in Paris fresh from winning three consecutive Europa League titles with Sevilla, will make of this early success remains to be seen, however. KLAGENFURT (AUSTRIA) - New signing Hatem Ben Arfa was among the scorers as Paris Saint-Germain romped to a one-sided 4-1 win over Lyon in the Champions Trophy, the traditional French season-opener, on Saturday. Ben Arfa was the only new face in the starting line-up named by Emery, himself a new arrival after the sacking of Laurent Blanc. Lyon kick off their campaign away at promoted Nancy next Sunday. Lyon, last season's Ligue 1 runners-up who also lost to PSG in the Champions Trophy 12 months ago, did not turn up for the first hour at least and the match was played out in a surreal atmosphere in a largely empty stadium in Klagenfurt.
