Paris Saint-Germain took just eight seconds to take the lead against Lille on Sunday night with a quite brilliant kick off.

Neymar played the ball back to Marco Verratti before the Brazilian immediately demanded it back. He touched the ball to Lionel Messi who played a superb lofted ball for Kylian Mbappe. The Frenchman latched onto the pass and made no mistake with the finish.

1-0 in eight seconds.

It was clear PSG had worked on this kick off routine and knew exactly what they were doing.

After the 7-1 victory, manager Christophe Galtier admitted it was something they had worked on.

“It was a move that we worked on, we found footage from different leagues, and even from our youth team in the Youth League who managed to score that kick-off against Salzburg last season,” Galtier said. “We talked about it yesterday, we saw the footage, we practiced it in training, obviously when it succeeds like that after 8 seconds, it’s very satisfying.

“Congratulations to them, to my staff and to the players for having dared to try it and for having succeeded. It put us in the match, it hurt the opponent and afterwards when the team is serious like tonight, obviously things are much easier.”

It's surely one of the best kick-off tactics we've ever seen.

But it's not the best.

That's because we want to remember a crazy kick-off from RB Leipzig.

RB Leipzig's 2-0-8 kick-off tactic

Before they were a Champions League side, RB Leipzig - formed in 2009 - were in the lower reaches of German football.

By 2013, they were playing in the third division.

And it was then when they made headlines for a goal scored from kick-off.

Against Stuttgart II in September 2013, RB Leipzig lined up in a crazy 2-0-8 formation. But they knew exactly what they were doing.

From kick-off, they knocked the ball back to one of their deeper players. The eight players then ran towards Stuttgart's penalty area and the ball was launched upfield.

A flicked header and looped cross later and Daniel Frahn headed home in a club-record time of just 8.6 seconds.

Amazing.

It's probably no surprise that RB Leipzig - or any other side - hasn't tried repeating that particular kick-off routine. Because it's got the potential to go disastrously wrong.

On this occasion, though, it worked to perfection.
