Oct 31, 2020, by Chris
French giants PSG posted an interesting image of the locker room ahead of the Champions League match against Istanbul BB that shows off which cleats their players took with them, including Mbappe, Neymar and Marquinhos.
Paris Saint-Germain Players & Their Boots They Took To Istanbul BB Champions League Match
Logically, Paris Saint-Germain's players did not only take one pair with them to but a few different with different stud configurations. All players had at least three different pairs to choose from for the match.
The reasons why player got more than one pair are simple and logical. First, they can choose the boots depending on weather and pitch conditions. Second, they can replace the boots if one gets broken. Third, it is always better to have some options in reserve.
In example, Neymar had three different cleats with him - two Puma King Platinum signature boots as well as a blackout next-gen Puma Future Z.
Marquinhos
Marquinhos had three pairs of the Nike Phantom GT with him, with at least one featuring a SG configuration (on the right - seems to be the most used one).
Neymar
Neymar got two Puma King Platinum signature boots and a blackout next-gen Puma Future Z. He chose the Puma King Platinum for the 90 minutes.
Mbappe
Kylian Mbappe had three different pairs with two different stud configurations - Pink Panther (FG), Dream Speed (FG & SG-Pro). He wore the MDS FG boot in the match.
Kimpembe
Kimpembe even got four totally different cleats - Mercurial Vapor Neighboorhood, Adidas X 20.1 Ghosted as well as two Adidas F50 Adizero 2014 boots. He wore the Vapors in the match.
Kurzawa
Kurzawa got two black Nike Phantom GT and one pair of the regular launch colorway of the Nike Phantom GT.

Adidas Liverpool 26-27 LFSTLR Collection Leaked
Official images of the upcoming Adidas Liverpool LFSTLR collection for the 26-27 season have surfaced online, courtesy of kit insider @KamilBerberler. Following the popular black and gold capsule from the previous campaign, the newest lifestyle range from Adidas Originals switches direction with a sleek black and vibrant red color palette, merging retro football heritage with contemporary streetwear design.
The standout piece of the collection is a long-sleeve lifestyle jersey finished in a deep black base with a subtle, tonal all-over graphic incorporating the iconic Liver bird. Contrasting vibrant red accents define the look, highlighting the classic Adidas Three Stripes running down the shoulders and sleeves, the ribbed cuffs, and centrally stacked Trefoil and Liver bird logos. A matching full-zip coach track jacket and tailored track pants carry the same stealthy tonal pattern and bright red detailing.
Alongside the tracksuit is a bold red pullover hoodie featuring dark, centered chest emblems and "YNWA" typography printed on the sleeve cuff. Rounding out the lineup is a relaxed-fitting black t-shirt that displays the stacked red logos on the chest, a jacquard "YNWA" pattern knitted into the ribbed crew collar, and an oversized red "YNWA" wordmark across the lower back hem. The new Adidas Liverpool 26-27 LFSTLR range is expected to launch in the coming months.
Black & Gold Liverpool 26-27 Lifestyle Shirt Leaked - Official Images
Official images of the upcoming Adidas Liverpool 26-27 special-edition lifestyle and pre-match shirt have surfaced online, providing the clearest look yet at the luxurious black and gold design. Known unofficially as the "Gold Leaf" jersey, the shirt is set to release during the 26-27 season as part of Adidas's off-pitch and culture range for the club. Big thanks to @KamilBerberler.
The shirt features a stealth black foundation covered by an intricate metallic gold diamond lattice pattern across the front and back of the torso. Each diamond enclosure contains an ornate floral damask motif inspired by traditional Southeast Asian art, honoring Liverpool's vast Thai fanbase. A classic Adidas Trefoil logo appears on the right chest alongside the Liver bird crest on the left, both applied in matching gold.
Completing the design are solid black sleeves and a crossover V-neck collar detailed with a gold inner trim. Tailored as a high-fashion crossover rather than a competitive match kit, this special-edition pre-match and lifestyle shirt will be available in the 26-27 season.
QPR Kit Clash Against West Brom
QPR faced a major kit clash in their EFL Championship away game at West Brom, wearing their pink away shirt with blue shorts against West Brom's traditional blue-and-white home shirt.
The bright pink of QPR looked surprisingly similar to the white stripes of West Brom on TV, while the blue shorts and dark details made the overall contrast even less clear.
From the wide camera angle, the two teams became difficult to distinguish, creating a frustrating viewing experience for fans.
