Goal scorer and formidable narrowly, João Neves was one of the great architects of PSG’s stunning success this Wednesday against Manchester City (4-2), in the Champions League. The Portuguese said he was “very proud” of the face displayed by his team at the Parc des Princes.
Rescued from the waters. Trailing 2-0 at the start of the second half, PSG was able to turn everything around to dominate Manchester City (4-2) this Wednesday, and thus completely relaunch themselves in the race to qualify for the Champions League play-offs.
A masterstroke before moving onto the pitch in Stuttgart, in a week, for the last day of this league phase. Now in 22nd place, three ranks ahead of their evening opponent, the Parisians are breathing easier and virtually hold their ticket for the play-offs. A success which owes a lot to the entry of Ousmane Dembélé, the awakening of Bradley Barcola and the enormous activity of João Neves.
“I’ll be able to go to sleep relaxed”
“There are several shared emotions. We dominated in the first half. In the second, we could have come back better and they took control of the match. But even at 2-0, we managed to come back and I am very proud of it. “We kept the same philosophy, that’s the secret, we stayed focused,” insisted the Portuguese at the final whistle, at the Canal+ microphone.
-In addition to his headed goal, and in foxing of the surfaces, to give his team the advantage in the 78th minute, the young midfielder (20 years old) delivered an almost perfect copy at the Parc des Princes. His ability to press again and again, his intelligence of the game and his technical quality harmed the English champions. It is very logical that the former Benfica player, recruited last summer for nearly 60 million euros, left with the man of the match trophy.
“For me, it’s not important. I’m happy but even more for the results. I’ll be able to go to sleep while being released. The ranking? There’s still one match left,” he added, aware that the PSG put in a great performance which now only remains to be confirmed in Stuttgart on January 29.
