#1 He outperformed Messi last season
Do you want to know why Barcelona are in such a mess right now? It’s because Neymar, not Lionel Messi, was the go to man for the Catalonian club last season. When the chips were down, Neymar dug deep on several occasions to rescue his failing teammates, ironically the comeback against PSG was the Brazilian’s most glorious moment.
Not only did Neymar (89) create more chances than Messi (78) last season, he (27) also provided more assists than the Argentinian (19). He replaced Messi as the sole creator of the team.
Now we’ll see how far Barcelona fall without the best player in the world to bail them out.
