Neymar became the most expensive player in history after sealing a record €222 million move to Paris Saint Germain in the summer. He wanted to step out of Lionel Messi’s shadow and establish himself as the best in the world.
The Brazilian linked up with fellow South American, Edinson Cavani and French prodigy, Kylian Mbappe and to form a formidable attacking trio that took the world by surprise, with their amazing goalscoring exploits. Neymar bagged 19 goals and 13 assists in the French top flight.
The attacker repaid the trust that was placed in him, leading the Parisians to reclaim the Ligue 1 title and win both the Coupe de la Ligue and the Coupe de France trophies.
