Neymar injury seen as "amazing stroke of luck" for PSG's latest Champions League showdown

There is no doubt that after paying Barcelona £200m for Brazilian superstar Neymar back in 2017, Paris Saint-Germain were setting their stall out to win the Champions League.

The club stance was certainly clear and Neymar echoed those thoughts after putting pen to paper on a fresh four-year deal back in 2021. Speaking at the time, he said: "Of course, my goal when I came to Paris Saint-Germain was to help get Paris Saint-Germain to the top, among the very best, and we are getting close.

“We are gaining more and more experience to help us negotiate these types of games, to know how to play in the Champions League. And Paris is on the right track, we are getting closer and closer to the taste of winning the Champions League. I'm sure we can do it.”
