Neymar revelled in Paris St Germain’s thrilling Champions League comeback.
Unbelievable drama last night but I have failed to get carried away with PSG’s @ChampionsLeague prospects for years and I’m not going to start now. A very talented group of individuals but a soft passage to the semis so far. Not a strong enough team to win Europe’s top prize.
