The Brazilian left Barcelona for the Parisians last summer in a bid to step out of Lionel Messi's shadows and establish himself on top of the football world and he went really close last season, bagging an amazing 28 goals and 16 assists for the French champions across all competitions before a ridiculous injury limited his influence.
However, this season represents a massive opportunity for Neymar to reach his ambitions, having started the campaign in an explosive form, bagging a whopping 10 goals and 6 assists in 11 Ligue 1 matches and he is undoubtedly one of the most impressive attackers on the continent right now.
