Neymar vs Galatasaray
Neymar is the second-best player in the world when he is at his best. When he’s not it doesn’t seem like it’s the case however when he displays his top-level he is mutually unplayable. He had one of those Champions League performances that makes us remember how great he actually is. Forget about the antics forget about all of it on the Champions League closing matchday of the group stage he delivered to justify the fact that PSG might be the most dangerous team in all of Europe. Neymar achieved incredible benchmarks becoming the all-time Brazilian leading goal scorer in the Champions League as well as accumulating more assists than any other Brazilian player in history. Neymar at his best is so good so deadly and can hurt you in so many different ways. When he’s motivated there’s really nothing that can be done. He is the best player on PSG although sometimes it’s hard to realize that. Against Galatasaray, he showed up in the fullest way something we’ve been waiting for this season. He’s scored and assisted to others in what was a sensational play this week. One of the best performers of the Champions League without question if we see this Neymar the majority of the season going forward PSG a very well may win the Champions League. It is clear that Neymar is looking to exit PSG for either a return to Barcelona or Real Madrid or maybe even the Premier League this mental state of mind has hurt his performance but on Wednesday night in the Champions League, he showed all of us who he really is. An unbelievable display from one of the best players in the world. The hope is he can maintain this all the way through the Champions League to do the impossible and bring the club a title that they have been reluctant to pick up. With killing Mbappe and Mauro Icardi, anything can happen and when Neymar is playing at the level he is just nothing short of world-class.
