Kylian Mbappé

[God Serena]

Also plays in Ligue 1. Not much drive to push himself further.

And on top of that, constant failure in the CL will never be seen as Neymar failing to deliver, and instead will be seen as everything else about the team needs to change, so he's probably never going to have that drive, either.

 

[Joan]

Is he injured?

 

[Luftstalag14]

Yes, ankle. The way Emery said it, it is doubtful that he will be able to play next week against Madrid.

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

Gosh. Madrid.. How can they ways get Lucky in CL? One way or another..

 

[Much2soon]

May be because he is 26 and players of his skillset rarely develop further?

Eh...I haven't seen any signs that he has peaked.

 

[Horatio]

Eh...I haven't seen any signs that he has peaked.

The fact that he went from La Liga to Ligue 1 should tell you as much. It's going to be hard for him to retain his highest form since it's simply a lesser demanding competition for him.
Not saying Neymar is lazy, not saying he's exploting the situation, but simply an effect of lower level competition.

Put yourself in his shoes: you are playing on 80% of your capacity but your still scoring goals left and right. What is going to make you go to 100% or beyond if its simply not necessary?

How the hell can you lose two key players playing Sunday League games in a league you won 2 months ago?

PSG is not only the most mentally incapable big money team in the world. They're also one of the most idiotic teams out there. Like seriously dumb. If they ever win CL they need some the holy luck of Chelsea in 2012.

They will never win it the way Chelski did though, as in, parking the bus. Parking the bus is not something that suits PSG, they are an attacking team, parking the bus would never work.
Parking the bus is part of Chelski DNA, from the Mourinho days.

I was referring to the dumb luck part mostly.

Only Madrid get that.

 

[Luftstalag14]

He is in the squad today, not sure if he will start.

 

[omidferoz]

He is so bad in this game. If dembele played like this he will get slaughtered here. Still a great talent thou.

 

[Sterlingfan2000]

I say it again. Leroy Sane has twice the Talent then Mpabbe. And Kingsley Coman is also better.

Steady on.
