Turkish Galatasaray midfielder Dries Mertens, participating in yesterday’s match of his team against Kyiv's Dynamo (3:3) in the 7th round of the main stage of the Europa League, set a new record for this tournament.
The match against the "white-blues" became the 70th for the 37-year-old Belgian in the Europa League, which is a unique achievement in the history of this European cup tournament (including the period when it was held as the UEFA Cup).
Until yesterday evening, Mertens shared the first place for the number of matches in the Europa League with Portuguese Rui Patrício.
