His initial desires may be forgiven him. It is to a splendid return of Neymar in added time that Paris Saint-Germain owes its victory against Strasbourg (1-0), Saturday, September 14th. The Brazilian was conspired so far for his first match for four months in the colors of Paris, because of transfer rumors that punctuated the summer.
The goal of the Brazilian, his first in L1 since May 11, allows PSG to consolidate its first place in the Championship of France with 12 points, pending the meetings of the evening, four days of the shock in the Champions League against Real Madrid, still at the Parc des Princes.
The former Barcelona could even have scored a double in the last second of the game, but his teammate Angel Di Maria was offside at the beginning of the action (90 + 5).
Endless transfer rumors
Real attraction of this meeting, Neymar made his return on the lawn of the Park in a position of number 10 after a summer of interminable rumors and negotiations for his hypothetical transfer.
The Parisians had a hard time creating chances against a well-placed team from Strasbourg, sometimes leaving space in the midfield to the visitors, with little consequence.
The victory in Paris gives a little more confidence to teammates Thiago Silva before starting a new European campaign against Real Madrid Zinédine Zidane Wednesday night. Without Neymar (suspended), nor Kylian Mbappé (injured), but perhaps with scorer Edinson Cavani (in recovery).
