The Brazilian star made his French league debut three years ago, when Paris Saint-Germain played EA Guingamp (0-3), and made an instant impression on French football. Take a look back at how it all began…
After an XXL performance (16 dribbles out of 22 attempts) in the quarter-finals of the Champions League against Atalanta (1-2), today Neymar is celebrating the three-year mark since his debut in Ligue 1 Uber Eats.
The Paris Saint-Germain star dazzled the Stade du Roudourou on Sunday 13 August 2017, a week after his presentation at the Parc des Princes. Against Guingamp, the ubiquitous Neymar (110 balls touched) scored his first goal - and provided his first assist - for Unai Emery's side.
An auspicious beginning!
His other stats for this grand premiere were equally eloquent, with 92 passes, 18 successful forward passes, five successful dribbles, six attempted shots and five passes resulting in a shot!
