Neymar spoke out against Benjamin Pavard following PSG’s 0-1 loss to Bayern Munich on February 15 when the Bayern Munich defender entered the play recklessly with Lionel Messi.
In the 90+2 minute of the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 match at Parc des Princes, Pavard and Lionel Messi engaged in a violent collision. The French player was promptly dismissed after the referee was shown a second yellow card, which is equivalent to a red card.
After witnessing his best friend being rudely fouled, Neymar expressed his displeasure. Goal revealed that the former Barcelona star approached and shouted at Pavard: “Are you crazy!”.
Coach Julian Nagelsmann praised Pavard after the game even though the player will be suspended for the second leg at the Allianz Arena on March 9: “The red card wasn’t very good, especially when he had an excellent game. . It’s a 50-50 situation when deciding whether to tackle or not.”
Bayern was able to control the ball for the full 90 minutes, which astonished coach Nagelsmann about PSG’s performance: “I know they typically defend deep, but in fаct they are too passive, too deep, and not really intentionally winning the ball surprιsed me a bit.”
Neymar and Messi played hard from the beginning of the game against Bayern.
“El Pulga” does poorly in it after just making his injury comeback.
He actively dropped deep to assist the midfield, and in the second half, he had a terrific chance, but his shot hιt Pavard and missed.
After Kylian Mbappe had entered as a substitute, PSG twice had the ball in the net of Bayern in the second half, but both goals were ruled offside.
In contrast, “Gray Lobster” got what it needed thanks to Kingsley Coman. 54 minutes, Nuno Mendes did not include Coman. The French midfielder comfortably took a pass from the opposite wing of Alphonso Davies before finishing with a nice touch in his right foot, beating Gianluigi Donnarumma.
This is also the only goal scored at the Parc des Princes. Bayern won 1-0 and held a big advantage before the second leg. This result is quite similar to the Champions League final in 2020. At that time, Bayern also defeated the Parisian club to win the championship thanks to Coman’s only goal.
Coman records for the Champions League
After Bayern defeated PSG 1-0 on February 15 in the morning, striker Kingsley Coman earned his 39th triumph in the Champions League.
When Coman scored against PSG, he didn’t have a party.
Coman made 50 appearances and took home 39 of the top club event victories, according to Opta.
No one has more victories than the Bayern star in the same 50 Champions League games.
In the 53rd minute, the France international made a goal. Coman sprinted forward after receiving a cross from Alphonso Davies and scored with a single touch. Gianluigi Donnarumma was eliminated as the Bayern star’s cushion put the ball away tension-free but stayed in the far corner.
When Coman conceded to PSG, he did not celebrate.
The reason is that from 2012 to 2013, this midfielder represented France by donning the “Rich Man” jersey.
Coman then joined Juventus before switching to Bayern in 2015.
This season’s Champions League round, Bayern defeated PSG thanks to Coman’s moment of brilliance.
Coman is a unique case in international football.
The striker, who is 26 years old, has 24 club championships to his name.
Despite spending a very brief amount of time with PSG and Juventus, Coman has won the Ligue 1 and Serie A championships.
Coman won 18 titles at Bayern just by himself.
The French footballer is widely regarded for his talent, but injuries have frequently forced him to end his career.
In 2018, Coman sustained an ankle ligament tear. He then injured the ligament and tore the meniscus in his left knee.
Coman missed close to 700 days in seven years due to injuries.
The French player got to his feet anyway to continue playing.
