Paris St. Germain won the continuation of the soccer Champions League match against Istanbul Basaksehir, which was canceled on Tuesday after just under a quarter of an hour, with 5: 1. Due to the best direct comparison, the French series champions also secured Group H victory over German team RB Leipzig with the same number of points. The three-time scorer Neymar (21, 38, 50) and Kylian Mbappé (42 / penalty, 62) stood out.
In Group D, Atalanta Bergamo got the second promotional ticket behind Liverpool. The Italians won 1-0 at Ajax Amsterdam thanks to a late goal from Luis Muriel (85th) and held the Dutch to four points. They had to end the game after a yellow-red card for Ryan Gravenberch (79th) was outnumbered. Liverpool had won the group before. Midtjylland said goodbye in the home game against the “Reds” with a 1: 1 and a respectable “premier class” success. After a lightning goal from Mohamed Salah (1st), Danish Alexander Scholz (62nd / penalty) equalized.
The Paris match was not played until the end on Tuesday due to an incident involving fourth official Sebastian Coltescu. Former Cameroonian international and current Istanbul assistant coach Pierre Webo saw the red card before the end of the first quarter of an hour. It should have been a racist insult from Coltescu. The referee was accused of using a racist formulation for blacks, now known as the “N word” in German. Both teams had left the pitch in protest.
During the warm-up on Wednesday, the players of both teams and the referees wore white jerseys with the PSG and Basaksehir logos and the words “No to Racism”. Before the restart, Neymar and company knelt around the center circle and raised their fists. The gesture is seen as a signal against racism that was started by American soccer professional Colin Kaepernick.
In the countryside, the French were in a class of their own. Neymar started the scoring in the 21st minute after Verratti’s preparatory work and followed 17 minutes later after an exemplary counterattack and Mbappé passed his second goal. The Brazilian also had his legs in play for the third goal, as he won a foul penalty from the video referee, which Mbappé safely converted.
Even after the restart, the Turks could not act. So PSG had an easy game. After a great interaction with “Joker” Angel di Maria, Neymar made his triple pack perfect. After Mehmet Topal’s consolation goal (57th), it was up to Mbappé to make the point. The forward of the French team had been served by Di María as before Neymar. Neymar had started the action.
