Neymar is like their Messi. Still doing useless tricks but makes nice forward passes and dribbles.

Pretty much this.
There are two very important players at PSG : Neymar first and then Verratti. Without them, it is not the same. Then you have Mbapp?, Navas, Thiago Silva but he is declining physically.
PSG has no midfield, thus Neymar has to do pretty much everything from bringing the ball from there ot higher up the pitch by dribbling or through balls or some 1-2 with Mbapp?. Neymar has to assist and Neymar has to score.
PSG doesn't cross either. It becomes then way easier to defend against that team cuz they play very centrally. We know Neymar loves to hog the ball sometimes but it is exacerbated by the (non existing) gameplan of Tuchel's PSG.
There was a period he was flying for us (just before his two big injuries). He was simply incredible. He is below this level currently. First, he had more weight than usual and had lost his acceleration. During lockdown, he seems to have worked out a lot and is pretty fit. However, his last two games were poorer than his fattier self before lockdown. I'll put that down to the evident lack of rythm.
Our best player without a doubt and i hope we will find a way to renew him.
Also, as a fan of football, it is always a pleasure to see a player try and pull off skills. Football is sometimes too "standardized", i like players who bring some colours like Neymar or Ronaldinho before him under our shirt. It is like music, when one musician is live and just let it go and makes beautiful and intriguing runs you wouldn't hear in the commercial version.
Now, against Atalanta, i fear he will have a disasterclass. If Atalanta is smart, they will focus their pressing on Verratti. Neymar will then try to do everything and play the saviour, will hog the ball, try to dribble 2 or 3 and lose the ball. Rinse and repeat.
Verratti might be the biggest waste of talent in the 2010s.
Neymar.
He had the skillset to go down as one of the top 10-15 players to ever play the game. Right now, he barely cracks top 50, if that.
Neymar had his highs.
Verratti should have been dominating the midfield for one of the best teams in the World since he left Pescara. Yet he has nothing to show for. Either injured or playing for an underwhelming PSG side.
Neymar will still go down as the best goal scorer in Brazil(national) history, that has to mean something?
Can't say his career was total failure. Not sure if we would crack top50 all time though.

So after Mbapp?, Verratti, Kurzawa, we have another injured : Kehrer. He has fractured one of his ear bone.
This can't be coincidence anymore. Are these players faking injuries so they can avoid bottling these games ?
If only the Barca players knew...
Are the images at HT or after the game?
If they're at HT. LMAO.
