On February 12, Beijing time, Grand Paris lost 1-3 to Monaco, suffering two consecutive defeats in all competitions. Mem's absence and Neymar's nuclear leadership led the team, the performance was unsatisfactory and made fans worried about the Champions League game against Bayern.
Mbappe's injury has long been confirmed, and Messi also suffered a hamstring injury, so the MMN combination only leaves Neymar, and the Brazilian star needs to lead the team single-core, which also tests his ability to bear the burden.
However, it was the Paris defenders who collapsed first, with 17-year-old Bishiab playing as the starting left-centre-back, but his performance was particularly bad, with successive mistakes that led to Monaco scoring three goals at half-time!
At a critical juncture, Paris Saint-Germain especially needed superstars to step up and respond in attack. However, Neymar's performance was disappointing. He has a large range of motion, he can be seen in front of both penalty areas, and the number of touches has exceeded 100! But the actual effect is limited.
The data proves that as the number one star on the field and the most talented offensive core, Neymar only had 1 shot in the whole game, but was blocked, 0 shots on target, 0 key passes, 0 accurate long passes, 0 goals, 0 assists, and finally scored 6.9 points! The only highlight is 7 passes and 5 successes, but what about after passing? There is no more threat to create, and the ball has been lost 28 times, with more and more lost.
The only goal for Grand Paris, coming from Bernat's assist on Emery, had nothing to do with Neymar. This shows that without Messi and Mbappe, Nei Shao really "can't hold up", and the so-called Samba Golden Globe Award that he just won for the sixth time also sounds a little ironic.
In the early hours of February 15, Paris will face Bayern Munich in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16. Messi should be able to return by then, but Kylian Mbappe is definitely absent. However, Messi and Neymar started at the same time in the French Cup and also lost to Marseille, so against the stronger Bayern, it seems difficult for Paris to win.
