A new sign of rapprochement after last year’s gifts. As is often the case on its social networks, PSG publishes posts from time to time to commemorate the anniversaries of its significant matches, in the Champions League or Ligue 1. And speaking of significant matches in the championship, it is difficult not to think of the famous 8-0 against Dijon on January 17, 2018.
That evening, a certain Neymar lit up and splashed all his talent on the Parc des Princes with a quadruple, becoming the 8th Parisian player to score four goals in the same match. On Instagram this Saturday, January 17, the club account published a post to put its former Brazilian player in the spotlight with the caption “Back in 2018. 8-0 at home. Neymar Jr had scored four goals! », accompanied by the four goals of number 10 on video.
A story with ups and downs
A few hours later, the main person reacted in comments and in French please. “Great times spent with you! » he wrote under the post accompanied by a clapping emoji.
The love story between PSG and Neymar is far from having been all rosy. This famous January 17, 2018, only six months after his arrival with a bang, the superstar was also whistled by many Parisian supporters for refusing to let Edinson Cavani take the penalty.
In the summer of 2019, Neymar strongly pushed for a departure from Paris and a return to Catalonia, ultimately in vain since he stayed four more seasons at PSG. After a small lull, the situation became unbearably serious when in May 2023, a few months before his transfer to Al-Hilal, Neymar was attacked by numerous supporters who came to the doors of his home to demand his departure.
Furious at his treatment by the club and its supporters, the current Santos player ended up stopping following PSG’s social networks for a while, but the troubles now seem definitely a thing of the past.
