After falling to Manchester United in the Parc des Princes on the opening day, victory in Istanbul was imperative for Paris Saint-Germain in order not to complicate life in this Champions League.

And indeed he got it against Basaksehir (0-2), but he had to sweat much more than could be presumed, mainly due to a very poor first half in which they conceded too much to his rival.

Triumph on the sidelines, the game left bad news and good news for PSG.

The bad news was

Neymar's

injury

, who had to retire before half an hour due to muscle problems in his left thigh.

"It was the adductor, he didn't feel well and that's why he came out, but I hope it's nothing serious," his coach,

Thomas Tuchel

, later commented

.

The good thing was the performance of

Moise Kean

, author of the two goals.

After a disastrous season at Everton, at the age of 20, the Italian seems to resume the course that he hinted at in his first appearances with Juventus: he has already scored two doubles in four games after making his Ligue 1 debut against Dijon.
