Paris Saint-Germain have once again been hit by a flood of injuries going into a crunch Champions League knockout tie, but this time Neymar is fit and seemingly ready to live up to his status as the world's most expensive player. Neymar PSG
Paris Saint-Germain’s French forward Kylian MBappe and Paris Saint-Germain’s Brazilian forward Neymar are pictured during the friendly football match Paris Saint-Germain vs Sochaux at the Parc des Princes stadium in Paris on August 5, 2020.
There will be no fans in the Estadio da Luz, but the French champions coped just fine behind closed doors when they beat Borussia Dortmund in their last 16, second leg in March.After the game, the Brazilian sat on a step high up in the stands at the Parc des Princes and cried tears of joy. And history repeated itself a year later, as another metatarsal injury forced him to miss the defeat against a mediocre Manchester United when they contrived to throw away a 2-0 first-leg advantage.
Aged 28, Neymar now finally seems settled in Paris and is in fine shape to lead his team against Atalanta as they look to progress to the Champions League semi-finals for the first time since the Qatari takeover in 2011. Angel Di Maria is suspended, while the club’s all-time record goal-scorer, Edinson Cavani, left at the end of June when his contract expired. Ironically, he has been tipped to move to Lisbon to sign for Benfica.
