In the second game of their pre-season trip to Japan the French champions went down in a five-goal thriller.

But they were without Kylian Mbappé and Neymar, who stayed on the bench throughout.

Huge Ekitike gave PSG the lead inside 20 minutes before Jordy Croux equalised for the J-League side.

After the break Vitinha scored Les Parisiens second of the afternoon but two late goals from Sota Kitano and Shinji Kagawa saw Osaka win.
