Galatasaray and Bayern Munich put their unbeaten Champions League records on the line during a top-of-the-table Group A clash at Rams Park on Tuesday evening.
The hosts left Manchester United's Old Trafford base with a stunning 3-2 win on matchday two, while Thomas Tuchel's team also came from behind to sink Copenhagen 2-1.
However, mere moments after failing to convert from 12 yards, the Argentine attacker latched onto Davinson Sanchez's header, raced away on the counter-attack and delicately dinked the ball over Andre Onana to seal an unforgettable win over the 20-time English champions, whose cause was not aided by Casemiro's second-half sending-off.
Harnessing their comeback strengths in both of their Champions League affairs so far this season, Galatasaray also trailed 2-0 heading into the final five minutes of their matchweek one clash with Copenhagen before salvaging a point, and Okan Buruk's men sit second in the standings with their respectable four-point tally.
While Fenerbahce are sending records tumbling during their extraordinary start to the season, Galatasaray rose to the Super Lig summit and extended their winning streak to six matches in all competitions at the weekend, sinking 10-man Besiktas 2-1 as two-goal hero Icardi moved onto double figures for the domestic season.
