#3 PSG's transitions were deadly
Trending
PSG were deadly every time they were on a break. They moved the ball from defense to attack in a split second. They wasted no time in transitioning the ball from the back and allowed the visitors no time to regroup. PSG hit them regularly on counters.
With Marco Verratti and Leandro Paredes moving the ball around with real purpose, the hosts played some really exciting counter attacking football. Add to that the pace of Neymar and Kylian Mbappe, the visitors hardly stood a chance against them.
#2 Kylian Mbappe became the youngest player to score 20 goals in the UEFA Champions League
Kylian Mbappe's opening goal from the penalty spot saw him reach a big milestone. The Frenchman became the youngest player to score twenty goals in the UEFA Champions League. He surpassed Lionel Messi's long-standing record in the process.
Mbappe was in electric form for PSG tonight, as he scored two and assisted once in a 5-1 victory over the Turkish side. He formed a formidable duo with Neymar upfront and after Angel di Maria's introduction, there was no stopping them. Mbappe is the one for the present as well as the future.
#1 The game will always be remembered for something greater
The game was suspended on Tuesday as a coach was racially abused by a match official. In a sign of protest, the Istanbul Basaksehir players marched off the pitch after making their feelings known. Supporting their fellow professionals, PSG players also headed down the tunnel as they stood up for what they believed was wrong.
This game will always be remembered for the fact that racism has no place in football. As a mark of protest, PSG players even donned training kits that read, "No to racism."
