Neymar Jr.

I don't doubt Hazard talent. He is Indeed talented but is often so underwhelming in CL for whatever reason. We faced him a lot since PSG-CHELSEA was becoming some kind of routine draws and he got pocketed by even our most obscure players like Jallet.

Congratulations for reaching the semi final. You seem like a humble and nice PSG fan.

Yeah he is the only PSG fan that I like, the others were intolerable.

By the way, the version of Neymar that I think is legendary - 14/15 and first half of 15/16 (this latter especially).

He was much more rapid in those days and much more direct. More tactically inclined as well. I'll take that over the dribble from halfway line, slow the play down try hard.

The best way to describe Hazard is that of a playmaking winger that chose the wrong club for his development and ruined what could have been a better career.

Hazard scored goals at a great rate as a younger player until he started half-assing it for Chelsea

Well, could argue that if a player ever half-asses it, he never had it to become that much better in the first place. Could Marcelo have been a better full back by that logic? I doubt it.

Dunno if scoring for Lille when the best player in the league was either him at 20 or Gourcuff at Bordeaux is that great a reference point for assessing his potential.

The role that he had as a goalscoring winger during that 14/15-15/16 was perfect.

The problem arose when he became more of a playmaking winger in the 16/17 season (the role Messi plays today) which made us lose width.

He's a Brazilian Hazard. Dribbles mean fuck all if you can't score.

I would say the same thing for Messi if he was a 20-25 goals a season player and dribbled aimlessly.

End of the day some Arsenal reject saved his season.

Yes, Brazilian Hazard..

Neymar has 35 UCL goals. Hazard has 7, while playing longer in europe.

People thought Dembele could replace Neymar. Its as stupid as thinking Hazard could replace Ronaldo. Both Dembele and Hazard have been big Flops and please guys dont compare Hazard to Neymar who is by far the better player.

True nobody can replace those guys.

That's a problem Messi too is guilty off. Both were more direct in 14/15 but decided to regress back to the middle and halfway line...because they didn't want to/couldn't handle the workrate of a true wing forward.

I think one playmaking winger is ok, assuming the shape is correct.

But two is a big no no, especially with Iniesta in the side too. The center was too much congested.

16-17 and 17-18 were also terrific. I think his best year were 2015 and 2017.

He's a Neymar fanboy. Wants PSG to get one over us.

I'm also a ney fanboy but my neofanboyism is even stronger

note: would've used the joker emoji for ney and the bat's for neo ideally *

Thank you. Thank you.

They were shit but the end result makes all of us PSG fans happy.

We were all crying from sadness and frustration but we are all crying tears of joy now.

It is nothing formidable as Atalanta weren't favourites but for once luck, fate, whatever you want to call it, took our side.

I'm maybe humble because i have experienced our biggest successes during Canal Plus era and our lowest moments.

Wow previous CL dribbling record was 11 and he had 16, this guy is seriously Ronaldinho level dribbler

No. Messi (vs Man Utd in 2008) and Neymar are tied at 16 dribbles.

Wonderful find. Is that a single game (Old Trafford) or the whole tie?

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

I am sure Messi watched the game today, so he should be extra motivated to show Neymar who is still the best and to those stupid German football players.
