Neymar opened the scoring for Paris Saint-Germain against Istanbul Basaksehir in stunning fashion after producing a filthy nutmeg before scoring a sensational goal.

PSG's Champions League clash with Istanbul at the Parc des Princes on Tuesday was postponed due to an alleged racist incident that led to both sets of players walking off the pitch.

And both sets of players showed their solidarity over the incident by wearing 'No To Racism' tops during their warm-up for the match.

PSG and Istanbul resumed their clash from the 14th minute with a different officiating team.

Neymar found the back of the net in the 21st minute after he was played in by Marco Verratti.

The 28-year-old Brazilian winger turned and nutmegged an Istanbul player before pulling the trigger from the edge of the area.

Neymar's curling shot sailed past a helpless Mert Gunok to open the scoring for PSG.

The PSG superstar completed his brace in the 38th minute before Kylian Mbappe fired home his side's third from the spot-kick.

PSG lead Istanbul 3-0 at the Parc des Princes going into half-time.

Thomas Tuchel's men will progress as the winners of Group H should they defeat Istanbul tonight.

RB Leipzig have already qualified for the last 16 after defeating Manchester United 3-2 at the Red Bull Arena on Tuesday.


Update: Neymar completed his hat-trick in Paris Saint-Germain's 5-1 victory over Istanbul Basaksehir in the Champions League at the Parc des Princes.

Thomas Tuchel's men progress to the knockout stages as the winners of Group H.
