In 2017, the Brazilian superstar Neymar said goodbye to the Catalans, shocking the fans. Neymar has moved to the stage of League One giants PSG. Neymar was acquired by Paris Saint-Germain for a record fee of 222 million euros.

Brazilian football agent Andre Curry has said that it was Neymar who made PSG the success it is today, and before that, they did not have much knowledge regarding such a club. He said this through Barca Times.

“Everything Neymar has given to PSG is priceless. Wherever you go in the world, you will find a boy wearing a PSG jersey. Earlier people didn’t even know what the club was. Finally, Messi, Mbappe and Di Maria arrived. ‘Neymar made PSG what it is today,’ Andre said.

Curry also said he thinks Messi is one of the reasons why Neymar left Barcelona. He also said that the player thought regarding leaving the team following the Barcelona-PSG match in the 2016-17 season.

Why did Neymar leave the team? I think it happened following the 6-1 win once morest PSG. Neymar was the man of the match. But Messi was as full of headlines as he was. Neymar likes Messi a lot. For this reason, he did not want to compete with Messi.

Neymar’s friends told me that moving to PSG would be the most expensive mistake and that he might have to return within two months. But that would never have been possible,’ Curry said.

In that match, Barca made the best comeback in the history of the UEFA Champions League through Neymar. The two met in the round of sixteen.

Barca lost the first leg of the match at PSG’s home stadium by four goals. Angel Di Maria scored twice for PSG while Edinson Cavani and Julian Draxler completed the list with one goal each.

Barca took the lead through Suarez in the third minute of the second leg at the Camp Nou. Barca doubled their lead with an own goal in the 40th minute and increased the lead to three through Messi’s penalty goal in the 50th minute. PSG hit back through Cavani in the 62nd minute. Neymar became the savior of Bars by scoring in the 88th minute and the 91st minute while trailing by two goals on the aggregate score. Sergi Roberto’s goal in the 95th minute led Barca to a 6-1 lead in the second leg and a 6-5 margin in the match.
