Paris Saint-Germain: Neymar attacks Messi critic – FOOTBALL INTERNATIONAL

Paris Saint-Germain wins 4-0 (2-0) against FC Nantes and wins the French Supercup on Sunday.

The goals for the champions were scored by the superstars in Tel Aviv: Neymar (30) with a brace (45+5, 82), as well as Messi (35/22) and Sergio Ramos (36/57).

Neymar was happy after his goals: “I’m satisfied,” said the Brazilian: “We convinced.” But when he was asked if Messi was back to normal, the striker fired again.

Neymar, who was not voted “Man of the Match”, Messi won this title, defended the Argentine world star: “People talk a lot without knowing what’s going on day after day. Leo is Leo forever, he will not change and he will remain a player who makes a difference.”

Then the Brazilian looks to the future, saying: “I hope that the three of us stay at PSG this season and that things go well. If Kylian (Mbappé; editor’s note), Leo and I are doing well, PSG will do well too.”

After the convincing victory, a possible Neymar farewell to PSG finally seems off the table. Although he could “tell anything about the exchange between us,” said the new PSG coach Christophe Galtier (55), “but I have a happy, happy and very professional player”.

After the sale of the former Barça star was no longer pursued by the club management, according to the sports daily “L’Équipe”, Neymar is back in top form. “We know he’s a world-class player,” said Galtier. Neymar was “well prepared and fit” for the start of training and hasn’t missed a session since then, the coach added.

On Saturday, Paris Saint-Germain will start the new Ligue 1 season with the three world stars. The team will have to start in Clermont-Ferrand (9 p.m., here in the live ticker).
