Neymar scored one goal and helped create three more as Paris Saint-Germain completed its Champions League group stage with a 5-0 rout of Galatasaray on Wednesday.

Kylian Mbappe timed his run well in the 33rd minute when he latched on to Neymar's defense-splitting pass and squared the ball to Mauro Icardi, giving the Argentine poacher an easy tap-in from close range.

Two minutes later, Neymar broke through from midfield and fed winger Pablo Sarabia, who beat his marker with a quick step-over move and angled a low shot from the right of the penalty area into the bottom left corner.

Neymar even started the move which led to his goal just after halftime, finding Mbappe with a pass and taking the France star's back-heeled return before rifling the ball into the top corner from inside the area.

Another fine pass from the Brazil star released Mbappe in the 63rd and he confidently stroked the ball home from the left of the area. Mbappe and Neymar then consulted between them and allowed substitute Edinson Cavani, the club's all-time leading scorer, to net the fifth goal from the penalty spot in the 84th.

PSG was already qualified before the game as group winner and topped Group A with 16 points, five ahead of second-place Real Madrid. Club Brugge finished above Galatasaray in third spot to qualify for the Europa League.

Cavani was once again on the bench, with coach Thomas Tuchel preferring Icardi as his center forward flanked by Mbappe and Neymar.

But Cavani remains a huge fan favorite and his goal got the biggest cheer of the night.

The match was played amid high tensions. It was classified as high risk and there were fan clashes outside the stadium beforehand and incidents inside during the game itself.

A large section of Galatasaray ultras gathered on a big roundabout near Porte de Saint-Cloud metro station and some 150 PSG hooligans, dressed all in black and some with their faces covered, charged across the road to attack the group at around 6 p.m. local time.

Riot police intervened with tear gas to disperse the marauding fans, who threw flares at each other and let off fire crackers. There was further fighting in a nearby street.

Fans from both groups then goaded each other inside the stadium, although they were separated by fencing and prevented from any physical confrontation.

During the second half flares were lit in the Galatasaray section of supporters, and a smoke bomb appeared to be thrown from there toward riot police below. Smoke was billowing from the field as Mbappe scored and then celebrated his goal.

The animosity between the sides dates back to a match between PSG and Galatasaray in March 2001, when extreme fighting inside Parc des Princes left 56 injured and caused that game to be interrupted for 20 minutes. There were also fights when they met five years earlier.

KAWASAKI, Japan--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec 23, 2025--

Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation ("Toshiba") has launched a CMOS dual comparator, " TC75W71FU." It features a high-speed response and a full input/output range ( Rail to Rail ), suiting it for use in overcurrent detection in industrial equipment [1]. Shipments start today.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20251223600868/en/

Today’s industrial equipment uses large currents in motor drives and power circuits. This brings with it the risk of sudden overcurrent, which can damage equipment, shut down production line, and even reduce safety; its rapid detection and protection from it are essential. In the constant search for higher efficiency and product miniaturization, the range of current and voltages that circuits can support has narrowed, and even slight overcurrent can impose a significant load on the circuit. This increases the need for faster and more precise overcurrent detection technologies.

The new product offers a faster propagation delay than the current TC75W56FU, with a maximum of 45ns for low-to-high transitions and 30ns for high-to-low transitions [2]. This enables immediate equipment shutdown in overcurrent, enhancing operational safety.

The input/output voltage range supports the full range—operation from minimum (GND) to maximum (Vcc) supply voltage—making design easier. The minimum operating supply voltage, 1.8V, supports low-voltage operation. Since the new comparator also features a push-pull output [3], signal rise and fall times are fast, no external pull-up resistor is required, and a stable voltage level can be maintained.

In addition to TC75W71FU, TC75W72FU, which features added hysteresis for enhanced noise immunity, and TC75W73FU [4], which offers hysteresis and an open-drain output [5] capable of sending signals to voltage domains different from the comparator’s supply, are scheduled to start mass production in February 2026.

Toshiba will continue to develop comparators that contribute to improved safety and reliability of industrial equipment, and to expand the product lineup to meet a wide range of customer needs.
