For the first time since 2020, Paris Saint-Germain forward Neymar has scored in the UEFA Champions League competition.
Neymar provided PSG with a crucial 3-1 lead in its Champions League away group stage fixture against Maccabi Haifa. In the second half of the fixture, the Brazilian forward received a top-class pass from Marco Verratti and wound up finding the back of the net with relative ease.
