#2 Big match performer
If there was ever a coming of age performance to be marked in history, it’s the round-of-16 second leg tie vs PSG for Neymar. The Brazilian literally gave us a level of performance that we never thought possible. In the greatest comeback in football history, it was Neymar, not Messi who orchestrated the magic.
After a 4-0 drubbing in Paris, many branded Barcelona’s Champions League dreams as void but Neymar had different ideas. The 25-year old went on to score two goals and assist one in seven minutes to turn the tide fully in Barcelona’s favour.
Lionel Messi could only stand in awe as his once understudy seamlessly became his master in front of his own eyes. The night will forever go down in history as the night the torch was passed and will be marked as the birth of an all-time great.
