Notably, Neymar has struggled with injuries throughout his stint with PSG. The Brazillian did not feature for PSG in their last 3 Champions League last-16 ties. He was on the sidelines before PSG’s last-16 tie against Real Madrid in 2019 due to metatarsal fractures. He then missed a clash against Manchester United the following year, with the French side being knocked out of the Champions League on both occasions.
He did not feature in PSG’s 2-0 defeat to Bayern Munich on Wednesday, which knocked them out of the Champions League.
In the 20 Ligue 1 matches he played this season, Neymar scored 13 goals and provided 11 assists. The Brazillian scored 2 goals in his 6 appearances in the Champions League. PSG is currently on top of the league with an eight-point lead over second-placed Olympique de Marseille.
