The Paris Saint-Germain superstar was unfazed after his side dropped a 3-1 lead to draw 3-3 with Strasbourg, choosing to underline the qualities of the Ligue 1 Uber Eats champions, its players and their achievements this season.

Although Paris Saint-Germain could have hoped for another two points from their trip to Strasbourg, Neymar Jr wasn't splitting hairs about the result. After setting up Kylian Mbappé for Paris's opener, he was key in their second goal, scored by Achraf Hakimi, and looked to be enjoying his football.

'We're a great side and we've had a great season'

"It was a good match. We started poorly by conceding a goal quickly, but we recovered well and then put in a good performance to lead 3-1," said the Brazilian. "We took some risks and they got back level but that's football. We're a great side and we've had a great season. We're happy to be in first place and to have already won the league. We need to carry on like this."

With Neymar hitting his stride, Lionel Messi racking up the assists and Mbappé in world-beating form - as well as having Angel Di Maria back from injury - Paris Saint-Germain are looking to finish the season with a wet sail and - when Hakimi swept home Mbappé's cut-back - hit the mark of 100 season goals in all competitions, an achievement matched among Europe's top five leagues only by Bayern Munich.

More goals to come

"Yes, we always want to win. That's the most important thing and it comes with scoring as many goals as possible," said Neymar, keen to underline his joy in setting up teammates to score. "But also assists."
