Why Messi’s arrival in Paris Saint-Germain is so important to Neymar

More than four years have passed since Neymar and Lionel Messi entered the field together as a team. On May 27, 2017, in the final of the Spanish Cup, Barcelona, for which the Brazilian and the Argentine played then, left no chances for success for Alaves (3: 1), having won the trophy, and Neymar and Messi distinguished themselves with effective actions — the first scored the ball and assisted Lionel, and the second scored a goal and an assist for Paco Alcaser.

On August 10, 2021, it became known about the transfer of Lionel Messi to Paris Saint-Germain, for which the Argentinean managed to make his debut 19 days later in the French championship duel against Reims (2: 0). A lot has already been said about the reasons that led Lionel Messi to Paris Saint-Germain, although a huge number of subtleties around the economic state of Barcelona and La Liga regulations allow for a lot of interpretations on this matter. But today we will not talk about it. It is much more interesting to assess the aspect of the impact of Messi’s arrival at PSG on Neymar’s career, which seems to be very significant. In the end, it was by playing side by side with Lionel that the Brazilian managed to win the name of a top footballer in Europe. For four years of performances in Barcelona, the Argentinean and the Brazilian won two championship titles in Spain, three Cups each, the Champions League and the club world championship.
