The Paris Saint Germain winger has been one of the deadliest attackers in the European tournament so far, recording an incredible five goals to his name in six appearances and helping his club to make it into the knockout phase of the tournament despite an early scare.
With Neymar in such a terrific form, we can expect more goals from him as the season progresses. In fact, all eyes will be on him to create even more magic in front of goal when he faces Premier League giants, Manchester United for the first leg of their Round of 16 clash on February 13, 2019.
