He missed things so monstrous that it was long thought that Neymar and PSG, it was a story that would never give anything. Until this decisive pass a little messy for Marquinhos who changed everything. As a reward for the most expensive man in the world, who literally carried PSG on his skinny little shoulders last night, at least until the entry of Kylian Mbappé.

One number, only one, to illustrate his permanent harassment with the ball to the foot. According to Opta, the Brazilian managed 16 dribbles against Atalanta, a figure not seen in 12 years in the competition. We have to go back to Lionel Messi in 2008 during a sad draw against Manchester United (0-0) to find the trace of such a successful soloist performance.
