Time for Neymara to be number one. In the final, he can shine and illuminate Messi and Ronald

PSG and Bayern will compete for this year’s Champions League title on Sunday night in Lisbon. While Munich is preceded by a halo of precision machines for victory, where each component treads in harmony for the good of the whole, the French team will still rely more on the individual abilities of its players.

This is a huge chance for Neymar. He can finally show that the place of prominence does not belong only to Messi and Ronald. The 28-year-old Brazilian can boldly succeed them. “He’s probably the most talented player to run on the lawn right now. Probably no one disputes that,” said Bayern Bayern midfielder Owen Hargreaves.

“In terms of pure talent, he has almost no competition. Probably only Messi and Ronaldo will match him,” Hargreaves continues. “He definitely has to show that he is the best player in the world,” he adds.

Probably one of the considerations that accompanied Neymar’s record-breaking transfer from Barcelona to PSG was in that direction. Trying to step out of the shadow of Messi and Ronald, to show that he belongs to the very top. Have a podium just for yourself.

Along the way, Neymar encountered a few complications. First it was a bick in the cabin with Edinson Cavani, another great personality of the team, and then the arrival of Kylian Mbappé. The talented Frenchman suddenly began to shine in Monaco, and before Neymar could continue, he had more competition in the attack.

Now it’s his show. Messi and Ronald were unable to overcome their teams in the critical part of the Champions League’s specific season. Ronald’s Juventus broke his teeth on Lyon, Messi Barca fell infamously with Bayern.

On the contrary, Neymar proved to be an advanced player, he worked for the team, he discussed less with the referee, he was focused. He already has a big trophy, which he will work on as the biggest star of the team, within reach. “Messi and Ronaldo are different in that. Despite their unquestionable quality, they are constantly and steadily working to improve. They are absolutely unique in that,” Hergreaves points out for The Sun.

“Neymar, when he has his day, is the best in the world. But sometimes he doesn’t have his day and it’s obvious. He’s different from Ronald. He’s still the best player at Juventus at thirty-five. Manchester United.

“Maybe at the age of 27, he realized he was running out of time and came across the right coach at the right time. Thomas Tuchel forced him to work,” Hargreaves analyzes Neymar’s transformation.

“It’s no coincidence that Liverpool won the Champions League and then the Premier League.” Mohamed Salah at AS Rome never pressed until under Klopp. And the coin turned on Neymar as well. In the final tournament, I saw him press for the first time, come back, not just wait for chances, that’s Tuchel’s work, “adds the player who spent eight years in the Bayern jersey.

Like betting offices, Hargreaves favors Bayern, but PSG has a chance to succeed along the Neymar, Mbappé and Di María axis. “They always show something special, something extra. When they are part of a team, they can succeed,” he predicts.
