Neymar marks Champions League first with 20th PSG strike

Neymar clinched a unique piece of Champions League history on Wednesday as he reached 20 goals for Paris Saint-Germain with a hat-trick against Basaksehir.

The Brazilian joined his team-mates in walking off the pitch along with Basaksehir when the visitors' assistant coach, Pierre Webo was the victim of alleged racial abuse from the fourth official during Tuesday's game.

The match was subsequently suspended with 13 minutes on the block and postponed for almost 24 hours, with both sides marking the restart by kneeling around the centre-circle in repudiation of racist language and actions.
