His first goal for Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday in Toulouse, the Brazilian raised his total to 109 since he played in the capital.
He walks on water. Neymar scored his seventh goal since the start of the season, Wednesday evening in Toulouse Park, and joined the Portuguese Pedro Polita in fourth place among the top scorers in Paris with 109 goals scored for Paris Saint-Germain. The numbers are staggering: seven goals and six assists in five games since the start of the season. 109 in 150 matches in Parisian uniforms since joining Paris in the summer of 2017!
Decisive during his every match for a month, Neymar confirmed his hot summer by opening the scoring against a Toulouse side who had nonetheless been resisting perfectly until then. After Messi’s first passes in the match, the Seleção playmaker fired a right shot that tricked Dube helplessly on the spot (38). A goal was finally awarded after watching the video that did not prevent the Brazilian from celebrating it with dignity with his teammates and in particular Kylian Mbappe with whom he showed a great bond throughout the match.
Excitement and inspiration
Then Neymar distinguished himself in the second half with a dangerous shot near the post (53rd place). The crank, available on his left side as in the heart of the game, made many variations with the ball in his foot like this hit on Mbappe’s bar (64) after a brilliant turn from his partner. Replaced in the 68th minute by youngster Hugo Ikitaki, Neymar didn’t seem happy to let go but Christophe Galtier undoubtedly didn’t want to take a risk with his strategy.
Less than a week before Juventus welcome Turin for the first time in the Champions League, Paris Saint-Germain knows they cannot do without their Brazilian artist. And we can imagine that the latter, who ended the last European campaign without the slightest goal, would be eager to make people forget this sad statistic.
