Atlético Madrid travelled away to face Galatasaray in the Matchday 7 fixture of the UEFA Champions League, and the Spanish side’s goalkeeper etched his name into history.
Details: As reported by Opta, the Atlético shot-stopper became the fifth player in UEFA Champions League history to make more than 100 appearances in the competition under the guidance of a single head coach. The exclusive list also includes Koke (also under Diego Simeone), Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes and Gary Neville (all under Sir Alex Ferguson).
Ahead of this match, Atlético Madrid sit 10th in the table with 12 points after six rounds. They are just one point adrift of the top eight.
Reminder: Mbappe scored a brace early in the match, finding the net in the fifth and 26th minutes of the first half, thereby matching the tally of Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo.
