Thomas Tuchel fielded a weakened side for his first official match in charge of PSG, leaving the likes of Neymar and Marquinhos on the bench.
And his choice selection was vindicated as the Ligue 1 champions ran riot against Leonardo Jardim’s side, with Monaco barely threatening Gianluigi Buffon’s goal.
Former Manchester United winger Di Maria opened the scoring in the 33rd minute with a delightful free-kick.
Before midfielder Nkunku doubled PSG’s tally seven minutes later as he tapped home into an empty net after getting on the end of Stanley Nsoki’s low fizzing cross into the box.
