Angel Di Maria hit two goals in 33 minutes before Thomas Meunier added the third in stoppage time.
It was a savage beating for Zinedine Zidane’s side, who failed to register a shot on target in the entire match, despite deploying their Bale-Benzema-Hazard attacking line for the first time.
Thirteen time record winners Real Madrid were skewered by a far under-strength PSG side, who were lacking Neymar, Kylian Mbappe and Edinson Cavani.
Di Maria broke the deadlock by beating Thibaut Courtois at his near post, with treble UCL winning former Madrid goalkeeper Keylor Navas watching on from the other end.
The Argentine then notched the second against his former side with a fierce drive from the edge of the box.
PSG played within themselves after the break and then still kept Madrid at arm’s length with Di Maria lobbing the goalkeeper and the crossbar and seeing another shot saved as he searched for a hat-trick.
The third eventually came at the death when Juan Bernat and Meunier worked brilliantly in the box to create a tap-in for the Belgian.
