Player to watch: Mauro Icardi
Although Mauro Icardi was on the field for 90 minutes in Galatasaray's humiliating Super Kupa defeat, he was only able to register one shot. The Argentine forward will hope to put that disappointing performance behind him as he kicks off his new campaign.
It is worth mentioning that Icardi was the top scorer in the Super Lig last season with 25 goals in 34 appearances.
