5 reasons why Neymar will outshine Cristiano Ronaldo in the Champions League

#1 PSG is the in-form team

Metz v Paris Saint Germain - Ligue 1 — Just look at this attack

The form of forwards relies mainly on the form of the team—or at least in the larger scope of things. For Cristiano Ronaldo to succeed, he needs to be delivered with defence-piercing balls consistently. A failure to do that renders him obsolete.

This is one of the reasons why he has been very poor in the league. The Madrid outfit just can’t seem to get the ground running with their inconsistent displays. One day they are thrashing a team off the park and the other, they are getting beaten by a lowly outfit.

Meanwhile Paris-Saint Germain are a team in form. They already have a 10-point lead over AS Monaco in the French Ligue 1, with a game in hand, and have scored 76 goals in 25 games—which is just over 3 goals-per-game.

As a result, Neymar is likely to get better support from his team-mates than the Portuguese.
