Memphis Depay has once again smiled. Match after match this season, the Dutch striker has been decisive, either with passes or with himself scoring the goal.
Against Turkey, the Barcelona did both things. First, he got an assist via a one-two with Klaassen to make it 1-0.
But what Depay likes most is to score and he did so just after the 15 minute mark. Once again, he combined with Klaassen to make it 2-0.
Outside the box, 30 metres from goal, Depay found Klaassen. He scooped the ball up in the air and the Barca man made it 2-0.
Depay then scored a Panenka penalty to make it three and was then fouled by Soyuncu just before the break and the Turk was given a second yellow.
In the 54th minute, Depay headed home a cross from two yards out to complete the hat-trick.
