Since making his world-record transfer from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain last summer, Neymar Jr. has simply been overly outstanding. With him consistently providing goals and assists, while simultaneously treating the eyes of his fans to audacious showboating cameos, the 25-year-old has been a great joy to watch.
The Brazilian was at it again in his side’s 3-0 away victory over Lille, as he banged home a sensational free-kick to take his goals in the season to 18 in just 17 league games. These were the forward’s numbers in his side’s triumph away from home:
• 83% passing accuracy
• 64 passes completed
• 4 fouls won
• 3 key passes
• 3 take-ons completed
• 3 long balls completed
• 2 crosses completed
• 1 goal
Also on the scoresheet for the Parisians were Berchiche and Lo Celso. The capital club is now seated atop Ligue 1 with 62 points and an 11-point gap between them and second-placed team Olympic Marseille. Unai Emery's side is currently gearing up for the Coupe de France game away to Sochaux. Soon after that will be the much-dreaded game with Real Madrid in the Round-of-16 of the Champions League which will be played on Valentine’s Day.
