Averaging about 47 games in a campaign during his time at Barcelona, his fitness is also commendable - missing the odd game because of suspension or rest rather than injury.

The longest he has been out injured since 2014/15 is just four games (in the 2015/16 season). Apart from the severe injury he suffered in the 2014 World Cup after Colombia's Juan Zuniga kneed him in the back, Neymar has just missed the odd game or two due to muscle fatigue.

Ever since his move to Barcelona, only two players have played more games than Neymar - Lionel Messi and Sergio Busquets.

The fact that he is just 25 with his best years still ahead of him suggests PSG will benefit the most as he reaches his peak.
