Neymar Jr.'s performance in the Ligue 1 round 20 has reignited Paris Saint-Germain's glory, as the Brazilian superstar's return to form has lifted his team to victory over Marseille.
The match was a thrilling one-sided affair, with PSG dominating from start to finish. Neymar Jr. was at the heart of their attacking play, creating chances and scoring two goals to help his side secure all three points.
The first goal came in the 47th minute when Neymar Jr. found space on the right wing and whipped in a cross that was met by Edinson Cavani's header. The second goal arrived just six minutes later, as Neymar Jr. took advantage of a defensive error to score from close range.
Despite being down to ten men for much of the game due to a red card for Marquinhos, PSG were never truly threatened. They had the better of the possession and created more chances than Marseille, who struggled to find any rhythm in attack.
The win means that PSG have moved up to third place in the league table, level on points with Lyon and Monaco. It also gives them some much-needed momentum ahead of the upcoming international break, which could provide an opportunity for them to rest key players while preparing for their next big match against Lyon.
For Neymar Jr., it was a much-needed boost after a difficult season so far. He has been linked with a move away from PSG this summer, but his performances in recent weeks suggest that he is still capable of playing at the highest level.
Overall, the match between PSG and Marseille was a reminder of why Neymar Jr. is such a valuable asset to the club. His return to form has reignited their hopes of competing for major honours, and he will be hoping to continue his impressive form as they look to push on in the Ligue 1 standings.
