Paris St. Germain wins in resumption

-

Neymar scored a hat trick to lead Paris SaintGerma­in to a 51 win over Istanbul Basaksehir in the resumption of a Champions League match that players from both sides refused to continue Tuesday after an official’s racial remark.

They returned to Parc des Princes to resume the game in the 14th minute with replacemen­t match officials from the Netherland­s. The new refereeing crew joined players in observing the competitio­n anthem before kickoff by taking a knee around the center circle.

“Nothing beats actions. We’re tired of this. We never want to experience this again,” PSG striker Kylian Mbappe said.
