After a crazy summer of transfer speculation, PSG gave the best possible response on the pitch: a truly dominant 3-0 win over Real Madrid at the Parc des Princes. The team had two goals from former Madrid star Ángel Di María and a fantastic show of strength without the suspended Neymar and the injured Kylian Mbappé and Edinson Cavani.
PSG has looked solid in all phases of the game so far this season, and it will need that solidity when it faces Galatasaray in Turkey. This is one of the most hostile environments in European football and the pressure from fans and a good Galatasaray team could be overwhelming for the French if they’re not well prepared for the atmosphere. But if Mbappé starts and plays at his normal level alongside Di María and Mauro Icardi up front, PSG is more than good enough to leave Istanbul with three points and a big step towards a place in the knockout stage.
