#1 Neymar is less influential in big games
The Liverpool game is just one, but there have been numerous occasions where Neymar has failed to shine when playing against big opposition. It has been evident since he joined PSG and it was once again evident during the World Cup.
Neymar was simply lost when Brazil played against Belgium, just like he was when PSG faced Real Madrid in the last 16 stage of the Champions League last season (even before getting injured). The case of Hazard is far different and the Belgian has consistently proved to be a big game player.
In the national team, he is a beast and not much can be said of his impressive outings for Chelsea each season. Hazard almost always shows up against the big guns, as evidenced in the Blues’ Carabao Cup win over Liverpool. He just knows the right moment to shine.
The best players are not always the ones who have good numbers when it comes to goals and assists; showing up in the big games is equally critical, and Hazard is miles ahead of Neymar in that regard.
