Neymar asks to be subbed after 25 minutes before Everton’s Moise Kean scores twice in PSG’s win over Basaksehir
NEYMAR asked to be taken off after he appeared to injure his groin against Istanbul Basaksehir.
But Moise Kean saved the day for Paris Saint-Germain as he scored twice to win them the game 2-0.
Neymar received treatment on the side of the pitch after he picked up a knock at the Basaksehir Fatih Terim Stadium.
The medics wrapped a huge bandage around the top half of his leg and he attempted to play on.
But the 28-year-old raised his hand in the air and asked his manager to take him off in the 25th minute.
After the ball was purposely booted out of play, he limped off down the tunnel.
PSG boss Thomas Tuchel put Pablo Sarabia on in his place.
The Group H clash was goalless when Neymar was hauled off the pitch.
But the French giants took the lead in the 64th minute when Kean found the net.
Kean’s opener made him the youngest ever Italian player to score on his very first Champions League start.
That doesn't look good!

The Everton loanee, 20, then doubled his tally with an impressive finish on the turn inside of the box.
He has now scored four goals in his last two games for the Ligue 1 giants.
Kylian Mbappe came close to finding the back of the net, but he sent his best effort wide of the woodwork.
It's a vibe
