ATHENS (Reuters) - Italian midfielder Thiago Motta scored twice as Paris St Germain romped to a 4-1 win over Olympiakos Piraeus in their Champions League Group C opener on Tuesday.

Edinson Cavani gave Laurent Blanc's side the lead against the run of play with a simple tap-in before Olympiakos levelled when Slovakia forward Vladimir Weiss jinked his way through the defence to score after 25 minutes.
